Apparently, sugar art has a long cultural tradition in China going all the way back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Some of the sugar art masters were highly esteemed for their extremely intricate pieces that resemble blown and stained glass.
Even though it was far from something you'd find in a museum, my sugar art popsicle was still impressive and it only cost about 40 cents.
I was lucky to capture the whole process of how he made it... take a look. I'm somewhat tempted to try my own hand at making decorations on my own, although past traumatic experiences with attempting to make caramel suggest it would be a disaster.
Have you ever seen a unique street vendor in any of your travels? Do share... we'd love to read about it.

That's pretty cool. I'm going to show this to our chefs.
That is so neat! I love that you got that video of him making it! :-) Hope it tasted as good as it looked!
That was awesome! It was cool how from the first stroke it looked like a fish.
That is so interesting. I am racking my brain and I can't think of any street vendors I've seen that are particularly interesting!
I have to go there when I visit China. How awesome!
Very cool! That guy has talent. I like the wheel of fortune method for choosing what to make. Awesome that you had your camera with you to share this with us!
