Sugar Dragons
Neatorama links us to a great video of a street vendor in China creating sugar animal lollipops by hand. I’ve seen this many times in in person, but it still fascinates me to see it over an over again. This reminds me that if you can spark someones attention through the creation of your art it’ll make the buying and product experience more thrilling than just buying an end product like most objects are sold today.

Oh wow, I wish I would’ve had the chance to see this in person when I visited back in 2004. Actually, I’m surprised to see that this technique hasn’t been utilized by the competitors in the Food Network cake and pastry competitions? By the way, have you heard of Mike McCarey of Mike’s Amazing Cakes? Check out his gallery of cakes if you ever get the chance.
