“Only amazing” – viral video shows complicated designs made of melted sugar in China

A video of a unique “edible” art form in China, in which melted sugar on Instagram has become viral. The clip contains traditional Chinese “sugar paintings” that are practiced when an artist tinkers two breathtaking masterpieces in front of an enthusiastic audience from scratch. In order to make the first piece (a butterfly), the artist dives a small trowel in a container that contains melted sugar. Then take the trowel and start pouring the melted syrup onto a metallic surface. You move your hand skillfully to create the outline of a butterfly with the sugar. They add vertebrae, stripes and other complicated details within the outer borders. As soon as the sugar is determined and solidified, the butterfly shape is lifted from the flat surface and handed over to a person who is observed how it is made.

The video also shows a different design. The artist received a photo of a cartoon girl and try to reproduce the character with melted sugar. The artist skillfully creates the shape of the face, hair and upper body of the girl – as shown in the picture. They even managed to add their eyes, their nose and mouth. A thin floor is attached in the middle of the design, with which it is raised later.
