That's what I'm going to talk about today
It is a girl known as "Hangzhou Jiang Shuying"
She not only plays the guzheng well
Also put the antique beauty cake
Moved to New York
Just "West Lake View"
Already envious of a bunch of crooked nuts
Let's see what's going on
One of the booths caught the eye of hurried pedestrians
The crooked people can't help but stop one after another
From time to time, he exclaims "amazing" and "so beautiful"
What exactly attracts so many people?
Walking through the crowd only to find that there was some cake on top of this booth
What kind of cake has such a great charm
Walk in and take a closer look
Only to see that the booth is full of "Chinese style" sugar cakes
Maiden, Moonlight and Plum Blossom
It is both aesthetic and poetic
A tea ceremony performance nearby
Not only are there girls in cheongsams
Even made the tuan fan into a background
On the other side is the Haoyue dangling
Moonlight pours down on the tranquil lake
Such a set of Chinese style cakes
Not only has it successfully attracted the attention of foreigners
But also by the People's Daily
and CCTV News reports
And the makers of these cakes
Is a beautiful little sister
She is from China and her name is Chen Yao
She graduated from the Guzheng Department of Music
Fingers on the hard work
Not only are people beautiful
Or a master of turning sugar
Because the photo is very similar to Jiang Shuying
She is also known as "Hangzhou Jiang Shuying"
Jolin Tsai's sugar cake is there for everyone to see
Her fans also jokingly called it
Jolin Tsai is a craftsman who has been delayed by his singing career
His works have repeatedly won awards in the World Sugar Turning Competition
That Chen Yao's sugar turning skills are at the same level as Jolin Tsai'
In fact, in Chen Yao's life plan
The cake was like a beautiful accident
Because from the age of 8, she began to study music
I didn't even leave the music major until I went to college
When she was 7 years old, her father took her to Hangzhou to play
It's summer when the lotus flowers bloom
She fell in love with West Lake almost immediately
She said, "Dad, I'm going to play in Hangzhou later." ”
Because of this sentence, her father will take her to Hangzhou every year to play
Until 2007, the family settled in Hangzhou
Chen Yao began to learn guzheng at the age of 8
He can draw and loves calligraphy
Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can be said to be proficient in everything
After graduating from university, Chen Yao worked for a state-owned enterprise
Acted as a publicity secretary
In the sound of keyboard tapping
Spend five years
In her spare time, Chen Yao became obsessed with baking
Every day after work, I sneak into the kitchen and make some small snacks
For example, cupcakes, nougat, egg yolk puff pastry...
Maybe it's because it's done with heart, and the materials are good
Maybe add some talent
Chen Yao's small snacks are very popular in the office
▲Girlish heart
A chance
Chen Yao saw a friend who was making wedding planners send a cake
It caught all her attention at once
She immediately sent a message asking to be a friend
It turned out that this was the sugar cake
Turning sugar comes from The Art Cake of the United Kingdom
Garnish on the cake
Made with sugar noodles
As beautiful as real flowers
Even more delicate sugar flowers than real flowers
Almost instantly, Chen Yao decided to open a cake shop
So, resigned, opened a store
Her magic eclipse was born
Chen Yao likes Chinese style things very much
She said that turning sugar although it originated from abroad
But with foreign technology
Make a Chinese-style cake
It also has a unique flavor
In fact, she has also done works on the scenery of the West Lake before
"Jiangnan Memories" was when she first started making sugar cake last year
I just want to make a cake with Hangzhou charm
Later, I went to find the materials and drew the pictures
Spend more than 12 hours a day
Sleepless, sleepless and forgetful
It took half a month to complete
On the ground floor are the ten landscape paintings of the West Lake by the Qing Dynasty painter Wang Yuanqi
On the second floor is the clear broken bridge and the Lingfeng Plum
I really wish I could fold a plum blossom right away
Go to the broken bridge and meet in the rain
Ten views of the West Lake on the third floor
Broken bridge, three pools of the moon, Leifeng Pagoda, willow wave warbler and so on
It is also recognizable at a glance
On the top floor is the most common Jixian Pavilion we go to the West Lake
Friends around me have more or less stepped into the pavilion
In addition to "Jiangnan Memories"
Many of Chen Yao's desserts are related to Hangzhou
Wang Xingji's fan, the tide of the Qiantang River...
▲ Wang Xingji fan
▲The tide of the Qiantang River
Combine ink painting West Lake with sugar cake
Re-infused with Chinese-style music
It's a "new culture."
As Chen Yao said, art is interconnected
Put all the good stuff together
Whether it's music or food
All can bring happiness to people
Chen Yao said
I hope through my work
Let more people realize
Cake is more than just food
Cakes can also spread culture
Pass on ideas
