These babies are made of Marzipan...A sugar and almond paste.Hence the name "Sugar Baby".The craftsmanship that went into these are unbelievable as to how real they look.These were made for decortive purposes for baby showers. I thought they were cute...although some people on this sight have other thoughts about them as with everthing in life your intitled to your opinions....right or wrong. If you dont like them then dont buy them.
