Candy sculpting is the art of creating three-dimensional figures and designs using various types of candy. Artists often use materials like chocolate, gummy candies, and hard candies to build intricate shapes, ranging from animals to abstract forms. This craft combines creativity with technical skills, as sculptors must consider the properties of each candy type, such as melting points and structural integrity. The process typically begins with a design plan, followed by the careful selection of candies. Sculptors may use tools like scissors, knives, and heat sources to manipulate the candies. Finished sculptures can be displayed as art pieces or used for special occasions, showcasing the delightful intersection of art and confectionery.
