The Worst Thing You've Ever Seen

This is by far the most disgusting thing you will ever lay eyes on. I'm sorry, but it's like The Ring. I am compelled to share my horror:

Scary little clay baby

Big pile of clay babies

My boss sent these in an email attachment. There were actually like 12 more photos, one with a marzipan baby being born in an empty egg shell. Be glad I spared you that one! They came with the following text:
"These are made with marzipan.... really unbelievable! While some of the faces may look crafted rather than real, every detail is amazing, and the rest looks VERY real.

Definition of Marzipan: a sweet paste made of ground almonds and sugar, often with egg whites or yolks, used as a layer in cakes or molded into ornamental shape."

I don't know what or who or WHAT is behind such a horrible art form, or why anyone would spend time making little ugly tiny babies, or if anyone pays money for them. Unfortunately, no one has any more information for me than what is included in the email. But they have little tiny marzipan genitals for &%#*@ sakes! I am going to have the most horrific almond-flavored nightmares now. And so will you. You're welcome.

UPDATE: Hmm, a polite poster has informed me that this a an urban legend, which I didn't bother to check. That's what I get for polluting the blog with anti-cute. Thank goodness though, no one is eating almond flavored babies. But still disgusting to look at....

UPDATE: Here are real marzipan babies.So, while the ones above are not marzipan, there most definitely are marzipan babies. I should know. I made the marzipan myself. Eat away!
