Mrs. Dvl and I are hosting a pre-baby shindig (hey, congrats us!!). A bit offbeat, we’re not one to throw a “shower” or play silly games. No, we’ve invited about fifty of our friends and relations to a Baby BBQ, complete with babyback ribs, baby carrots, etc. Did I say offbeat? Maybe a bit macabre.
Anyway, we want to have marzipan babies available. No, not the ones as seen on Snopes. Real confections we can order online and have by this weekend (need help fast!). I know they exist because we almost bought them already—if anyone’s been to the Tropicana in Atlantic City, there’s an eclectic store that sells candies and treats from around the world. In there was a box of marzipan babies. Wayyyy overpriced (it was in a casino, after all, and we need more than a box or two), we figured we’d be able to find them on our own.
Wow, no such luck. I get lots of hits for legwarmers and Snopes, but I’m failing otherwise.
Heh… I think we’ll wait on those until the 2001 party.
This is going to be wayyyy over the top absurd. Pictures. Sure. There are about fifteen or so kids on their way. Keep in mind that in our 40 years, neither of us has ever so much as held a kid. No, wait, I think I did once, back in the 60s. But not for that long.
Do you have a German specialty foods store where you live?
Even here in Salt Lake there are a couple of places that carry such European treats, but I know that stuff like that wont be bargain priced, casino or not…
By the way, congrats on the new arrival----Do you have a copy of Garcia’s “Not For Kids Only” yet?
I knew there had to be other Cake Wrecks fans here Failing finding edible carrot jockies, you could go for one of these cakes: both of the pregnant friends (RL ones) I sent the link to thought they were awesomely terrible.
