I am relatively new to this and enjoy and rely on this site so much, i dont want to offend anyone but am i the only one that just cant get the excitement over making a cake like a pregnant belly, belly button and all or the babys butt....do people actually get excited about cutting into one?? please explain the fascination to me....love you all grandmaruth
Uh, no, you're not the only one. I find both kinds you mentioned repulsive, but that's just me. We all have our own tastes and styles and that's what makes the world go round, right! But no, I'm with you, I have no idea whatsoever why anyone finds those kinds of cakes cute in the least bit.
I've never seen a 'pregnant belly cake'.... are they very popluar? - not something I've ever seen in UK. Maybe you could post a photo of one?
Thanks
Mouldy , just click on the "last uploaded "file and you will see many of them every day....some even with the imprint of babies feet trying to kick out!!!
I just made a belly cake yesterday and I think it is one that I would like to do again. You can see it in my pictures.
It is not something you see often here in the caribbean.
Eek!! Some are very well made but...mmm not sure I'd want to cut into one!
Doesn't seem right!

I am in the Bahamas and I've never had a request for anything resembling a body part, except from Americans .
Topaz176 I looked at your site and your cakes are beautiful. It sure is getting hot already!
I think the well done ones can be cute to look at... But I would NEVER be able to cut one or eat it. It's just a little too macabre for me.
I just have a hard time with the actual baby ones. I've seen some very realistic "babies" on this site, and they've been done very well -- but to take a knife to it?
i look at it like this... it's cake... it's not THAT realistic. I mean, you have people hacking into Poohs, and Elmos, and armadillos and dogs... I've seen a few cakes that do look VERY realistic, and though it would be a little harder to cut into if I had a weak stomach, cake is cake.
I admire the skill it takes to make these. They are just not my personal taste and I'd never order one for an occasion.
I had never heard of them before I joined CC.
I definitely don't get it either
Me neither.
I think they look neat but wouldn't want to cut into them, reminds me to much of my 4 c-sections!
A belly cake wouldn't gross me out...

...but that would LOL.
Ok folks, all I have to say on the subject is Cake Wrecks:

No pregnany belly cakes for me in my repetoire. I'll um, just do something cute out of the Whimsical Bakehouse if they want baby-themed
I think they are adorable, but like others, I do not think I would be able to cut into one or eat it.
LOL. I guess I have to disagree with you all. It's just a cake. Who cares that it's a belly cake?
