I hate to admit it, but this one was a struggle and ultimately (I think) a failure. (Reminds me of my cooking.) I just knew something wasn’t working, so I showed it to my hubby. His response was that the baby looks like part of the pie, ready to be eaten. Hmmm… I assume that babies are delicious, but this is really not what I was going for!
This reminds me: When I was pregnant with Finley, my belly got so big some people would ask me if I had two babies in there. (Let me just say, this is NOT a nice or appropriate question to ask an expectant woman.) I finally started replying, “Yes. The baby I’m pregnant with and the one I ate for breakfast.”
So, back to the pie baby disaster… My hubster suggested that I add feet to see if that would make it look more like a baby in a bed. Nice idea, but it just made the illustration worse. It was a sinking ship by this point, so for the hell of it I threw in an extra foot…
Bon Appetit!!

Karen – LOL!!! I am looking forward to more from you on your blog. Yes, that illustration is not going to be very marketable in this condition, but it is a fun idea. Perhaps if it looked more like a baby bed and blanket for example and the whipped cream could be the pillow? Play with scale. Thanks for sharing your hilarious dilemma.

Thanks Cherish! I’ll give those ideas a try. AND I’ll be sure to get your great blog linked to mine.

don’t give up on this one – I think it has a lot of potential, and I really like the concept. whenever I see a cute baby I always say I want to eat it up. personally, I liked it better with no feet. I don’t know sh– about art, but i wonder if you could play with the relationship of color between the lattice crust, the baby’s skin, and the whipped topping a little to see what that does?
I just love subscribing to this blog! always brings a smile to my face.

Yay! Thank you so much for the advice, Karen. Great ideas. I’ll see if I can pull this one out of the fire, so to speak!

This is hilarious. Love it. Personally I think a dash of morbid humor and baby-eating isn’t out of the question…
