OK, so I am finally going to attempt it! But I am wondering... how do you make the belly? I know how to make the boobs... but what type of pan do you use so it comes out so nicely round?
Also, any tips would be wonderful!
Thanx in advance! icon_biggrin.gif

Someone from here told me that it is the sports ball pan from Wilton

I just did my first one two days ago. I just used a 4-inch round pan and carved the belly. Came out fine. For the boobs I used cupcakes and rounded them off a little.

I just used an oven safe pyrex bowl. It was perfect.
Good luck.

Oh my so many... I just realized that it depends on how big you want the belly to be. make it proportionate to the boobs! icon_lol.gif I personally prefer the ones that have more the oval shape but .... a lot of people seem to like the round ones too. type in belly in the search under galleries and look at all the different ones that pop up.

full size egg pan and two of the mini egg pans is another option -- for the "dropped" look

I'm making one of those for my sister's baby shower her work is throwing for her! This is the only time in her life she's grown BIG boobies icon_eek.gif , so I'm using the soccer ball pan for the belly and the sports ball pan for each boob icon_lol.gif I'm going to make the shirt or dress I place over it low cut to show some cleavage (tastefully)....she's SO proud of them! I told her to love em' while she's got em'! I got them too when I was pregnant with my daughter, but they quickly deflated icon_cry.gif

how cute cambo, can't wait to see it.
I quickly realized after I posted this that the sports ball pan would work perfectly!
Any pointers for making this?

The one thing I found when I made mine, was to make the dress in two
parts. Cover the belly seperate from the breasts, and then use another
strip of fondant, or lace, etc. to cover the seam between the belly and breasts. This is much easier than one full piece.
