Sweet beauties: a Chinese pastry chef decorates cakes with girls who can be eaten (Photo)

Cakes decorated with sweet beauties are created by a confectioner from China Zhou Yi. For work, he uses dough, fondant and marzipan. The output is almost porcelain figurines that you can eat.

Zhou Yi cakes are a tribute to Chinese culture and art. For example, one of the statuettes — Empress Wu Zetian — the only female emperor of the Celestial Empire. Her figure is so detailed that you can count her eyelashes, writes Big picture.

Zhou Yi has long studied Chinese food processing methods. He experimented and created his own technology for turning cream with sugar into intricate figures of Chinese women.

Now Zhou Yi has its own confectionery workshop in Suzhou, near Shanghai. And on social networks and on the site, he publishes photos of his most famous cakes.

Recently it was reported that a baker from Seattle Lauren Ko creates very unusual stuffed pies. With the help of natural dyes, the right color scheme and the geometric shape of the dough, he manages to bake not just pies, but real works in the style of food design.
