Hi guys,

I really need your help!! I have an order for a cake that need to look like a jelly baby but i just havent got a clue where to start. The cake needs to have the jelly baby with black hair and blue eyes too!!! This is a request from the customer. They also want the baby to be wearing a football shirt. Please help asap so i can stop stressing about this.

Sorry to show my ignorance, but what is a jelly baby?

It's a candy sort of like a gummy bear, right? I have no idea how you'd get that translucent look.

this is a jelly baby ........

Couldn't you use icing gel to get that look?
That's the only thing I can come up with.

the customer wants the skin to look like tanned barbie colour skin, im thinking fondant and then i coulddust with icing sugar to give that dusted look what do you think?
