Every tiny part is treated with care, and sugar has its own life Fondant (翻糖) cakes made by Zhou Yi look like paintings. People can't tell whether they are admiring (欣赏) a beautiful work or a sweet cake.
As a dough figurine (面塑) artist, Zhou's father wanted him to master the craft (技艺) because he was born with creative talent. To learn the professional knowledge, Zhou entered a food college for more training.
Zhou Yi got more experience about making the dough figurines after graduation. However, he found that they were not popular among young people. Zhou decided to improve the traditional craft. Then he learned about fondant while studying abroad. This is a material to make art cakes from England. Both crafts have a lot in common. ★ Zhou Yi did a lot of research in order to invent a completely new material-fondant paste. After that, his imagination was no longer limited (限制) by material. More young people spoke highly of (高度赞扬) him.
Zhou Yi's hands seemed magical. Many fondant creations of characters in Chinese operas were made. He studied makeup and costume making. Sometimes he had to fail a hundred times to make the perfect works.
Everyone can be good at something. We should try to find what we really love and put our heart into it. Just like Zhou Yi's dream, he hopes to show Chinese crafts to the world. We all believe that his dream will come true one day.
