AIBU to have made this terrifying edible replica of my beautiful baby nephew?

Last year I made them a tiny marzipan model of their dog to adorn the Christmas cake and it went down a treat.

So why don't they appreciate this?!

(light hearted (I hope obviously!) and yes, I do have permission for the photo)

Why don't you start them off OP, maybe you can cut out an eye or chop his head off? Shock

Seriously though it looks like one of those 3d scan pictures. So glad that technology wasn't around the last time I was pregnant.

You just need to add more head. You've done the face a bit too big in proportion so it's lost the baby cuteness and just looks scary.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 25/12/2017 19:22

That's fucking awesome!

SoupDragon · 25/12/2017 19:26

I agree - it's definitely Gollum!

If there are jobs replacing the gargoyles on cathedrals you are IN! Grin

The hobbitses has got the precious!

Poshindevon · 25/12/2017 19:29

That cake could be entered as a piece of visual art for the Turner Prize. Dont let them eat it !!! Grin

Terrifying

FuckwitsEverwhere · 25/12/2017 19:29

Fuck, this reminded me. A few years ago BIL painted DS and sent it to us as a birthday surprise.
It looked like a jaundiced Chucky. It was hideous. BIL said to give it to MIL if we didn't want it, but we slipped with white spirit and a scraper..
I shudder thinking about that image.

I know the skull is too small but I ran out of marzipan and didn't want to restart a smaller face ... that's already a kilo there, maybe heavier than his actual head? Grin

You are very talented OP, no doubt everyone has eaten too much already?
Perhaps save it for Halloween if it is an iced fruitcake?

ScreamingValentaMySantaExpress · 25/12/2017 19:30

It's your lovely nephew's ... evil twin! Hahahaha ....

ShatnersBassoon · 25/12/2017 19:33

That is astonishing. It looks like Brian Glover, if he was choking to the point of panic and viewed through a fisheye lens.

I don't like marzipan, unfortunately.

Weebo · 25/12/2017 19:34

All I see is Dom Littlewood from Cowboy Builders. Xmas Grin

That's stupendous OP.

Clandestino · 25/12/2017 19:34

I thought it was a Halloween mask.

DeStijl · 25/12/2017 19:36

This has absolutely cheered me up. I love it.

dancinfeet · 25/12/2017 19:42

Just about choked on my drink when I saw that. Christ on a bike, WTF?!

doctorcuntybollocks · 25/12/2017 19:44

It looks like a 1980s football hooligan.

feellikeanalien · 25/12/2017 19:44

Or it could be Wayne Rooney!

maykmi · 25/12/2017 19:45

I do feel a bit bad. I got their hopes up with last year's creation when I made their dog and it was genuinely quite realistic and sweet. Turns out whippets are more easily carvable than baby heads.
