Move over, marble statues – there’s a new art form in town! 🎨 Chinese cake artist Zhou Yi, dubbed the ‘Sugar King’, just unveiled a jaw-dropping 4-meter-tall fondant sculpture of a ‘Flying Horse’ to celebrate the 2026 Year of the Horse. Crafted with 1.5 tons of edible fondant over 100 days, this gravity-defying masterpiece is now eyeing a Guinness World Record! 🏆
Imagine stacking 300 birthday cakes – that’s how much sugar went into this cultural marvel! 🌟 Zhou’s team blended traditional Chinese horse symbolism (a sign of success and speed) with viral-worthy edible art. “It’s like ‘Sugar Rush’ meets ‘Game of Thrones’ dragons,” one TikTok user commented during the live reveal.
