Here is a great tutorial. don't know if this is what you were looking for. If it's not you could try finding some babies in the gallery and then try to PM the person who made them for some tips. HTH

Well first you make a fondant mommy and daddy......

Sorry icon_eek.gif Up Wayyyyyyyyyy to late making fondant dog biscuits and bunnies.

There is a thread here about a fellow CCer who has a tutorial that I purchased, about $9ish, for making babies, they are ADORABLE!

Here's a link on how to make 'Gum Ball Babies'. Easy to follow instructions, quick and they are the cutest little things thumbs_up.gif ! The only problem is you may not want to stop making them, they just get easier and funner to do! Anyway, hope this helps ...

I love them too! By the way, the Elmo topper is easy to adapt to whatever character and size you like. I adjusted the directions and made a stacked cake with Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird sitting around. I adapted each character to a smaller size and poses, but the basics stayed the same.

I love that link. THANK YOU! I'm not a fondant sculpture (yet) but I have made sculpy characters for my garden. I can't wait to try this.
