    Is the fondant flavored? If they’re not chocolate/caramel/vanilla, I am so not interested. As for the zombie baby head, I don’t even know where to start. “Be sure to keep your chocolate sculpture out of direct sun”?

    As if I needed another reason to avoid the dreaded baby shower thing.

    Or maybe…I should just buy some of these and give them as gifts at the next shower. That should cut down on the invites!

THAT would slow my stepson down from always checking the pantry and fridge when he comes over, before he ever says ‘hello’ to his dad and me.

    $35 seems like a really reasonable price for the zombie baby head (although I have no basis for comparison so who knows?). It looks well-crafted and you’d get a lot of chocolate out of the deal (assuming the heads aren’t hollow).
