‘The doors look tasty’: woman creates mouth-watering miniature Chinese courtyard house model out of chocolate
- The courtyard house is based on a setting from famous Chinese television show ‘My Own Swordsman’
- The artist made 2,000 miniature chocolate bricks to build a realistic version of the house.
It looks like it could be a scene out of a movie set; not only is this a traditional Chinese courtyard house miniature, but it is probably also delicious.
Many internet users praised the model as “almost completely identical” to the courtyard house in the TV show, saying they “could not tell any difference”, the report said.
Fan, who lives in Jinan in eastern China’s Shandong province, studied finance while in college. She said she started making confectionery about six months ago, and once baked a cake based on an ancient Chinese painting.
“My Own Swordsman is still well known by most people. I like the show very much, and I thought it would be cool if I presented it in my own way,” Fan said.
She said she melted 6kg of chocolate to make the miniature model, and used other common decorative baking materials like edible film, sugar and gelatin.
