Chinese sugar art is a well-establishedtradition in Chinese culture. Sugar art isbelieved to have its origins date all theway back to the Ming Dynasty, somefour hundred years ago. During the 60sand 70s sugar art was popular in muchof China, however today the art formhas become increasingly rare in themore developed areas. Street vendorsselling sugar art can still be found inthe Sichuan province of central China.
Introduction
The basics of creating sugar art is verysimple, consisting of Maltose Syrup orgranulated sugar being melted in a wokallowed to cool and harden on a flatsurface and then reheated and drizzledfrom a small ladle onto a marble surface.The hot sugar substance hitting thecolder marble surface causes it to cooland harden quickly, so the artist mustwork swiftly to construct a painting ofvarious creatures. Once the painting iscompleted a wooden stick is attached tothe painting with a few drops of theliquid and then it is removed from themarble with a spatula device and sold orput on display. The level of detail in thesugar paintings is directly related to theskill of the artist.
