Marzipan babies

These are so cute I could eat one! And in fact, they are edible--they are made from marzipan. Definition of Marzipan:
Made of sugar, egg whites and almonds, this substance can be used as a base for icing, or to mold decorative forms such as flowers from, on the wedding cake.
Unbelieveable!!
