The video of "Making The Baby" wasn't quite what I was hoping for.

This is no good without pictures of someone eating the baby cake.

I don't understand the people in the first thread that were confused about the baby cake. You don't buy it for mothers, you buy it because you're going to a party of people with similar morbid senses of humor and you want to eat a baby.

I’m just here to comment on the unholy creepiness of that baby cake. K, bye.

I'll take seconds, or double of cake posts any day. :) Hadn't seen the baby making vid. Wow, such work on the baby hand!

I loved it in Steel Magnolias when red velvet was the interior of an armadillo shaped cake and it looked gory.

My own post on confections.

Happy birthday, Signor Corleone. Shame you won't see another one.

Red velvet cake and some pretty gnarly looking armadillo cakes. And yikes, blue cake.

It wouldn't be so creepy if the baby was actually cute, but it looks like the Bride of Chucky or something.

According to the making of video that baby is brown on the inside. Food for thought.

To be fair it should hve said, "Happy birthday from Signor Corleone (now make sure the vaguely Sinatra representative character gets a part in your new flick)"
