Cakes are no longer just dessert served to guests on special occasions. Today, many of them are true edible works of art! To prove this, we present to you a cake artist whose works won the First International Best Prize at Cake International in 2017, the world’s largest cake competition held in the UK.
Chinese patissier Zhou Yi is best known as “Sugar King” in his native country and looking at his incredibly detailed and beautiful handmade works, it’s easy to understand why. Yi molds fondant into human figurines that look more like porcelain dolls than edible decorations. His works mostly feature elements of Chinese culture and traditional art. One of his best works includes Wu Zetian, China’s first and only female emperor, which was presented at the cake competition. The statue was so incredibly detailed that the viewers could even count her eyelashes!
Yi has spent many hours learning Chinese techniques of food carving and dough modeling. Therefore, we can now certainly call him a grandmaster when it comes to molding fondant into figurines and accessories. He even operates a cake workshop named Suzhou, near Shanghai, and regularly posts his intricate works on his social media accounts for his fans.

I was diagnosed with corona virus 2 weeks ago i lived in pain with the knowledge that i wasn't going to ever be well again i contacted so many doctors on this issue and wasted a large sum of money but my condition never got better i was determined to get my life back so one day i saw Miss Katrina post on how Dr oduku saved her from the VIRUS with his herbal medicine i contacted Dr oduku on his email address odukuherbalremediess@gmail.com or via whats app +2347067706774 we spoke on the issue i told him all that i went through and he told me not to worry that everything will be fine again so he prepared the medicine and send it to me through courier service and told me how to use it,after 8 days of usage I went to see the doctor for test ,then the result was negative,am the happiest person on earth now. This testimony is real thanks to Dr oduku God bless you.

so is this one cake with tons of mirror angles? if not, how is there more than 1 of this kind of cake that looks exactly the same?

They don't look the same. They are all different. Just look at the folds of the dresses, the hair... He has a bakery where they train other bakers, maybe those others are made by students?

The figures are exquisite but the females are abnormally thin to the point of anorexic which makes me sad. He could easily make them a healthier weight & they would still be as lovely.

Finally, a close-up. Looks like those plastic figurines, equally detailed.
