This viral Instagram video shared by chef Amaury Guichon, shows how he makes a detailed chocolate sculpture of two tigers to mark the occasion of Lunar or Chinese New Year.
If you are a regular on Instagram, then you might have come across the page of a famous pastry chef named Amaury Guichon. He is a Swiss-French pastry chef who is known for his pastry designs and chocolate sculptures. This time he has taken to Instagram to share a video of himself making a tiger sculpture out of chocolate. It is to mark the Lunar New Year that's better known as the Chinese New Year 2022.
The video opens to show Guichon in the process of making the tiger as he prepares moulds after moulds, filled with chocolate. He keeps shaping them according to how a tiger cub would be shaped. From its face, to its ears, tail and paws - everything looks just as realistic as an actual tiger cub would. He finishes the tiger sculpture by spraying some edible paint onto it and marking some stripes on the cub.
Next, the tiger itself gets made with the use of more chocolate. And of course, on a bigger stand. By the end of the video, viewers can see the bigger tiger and the little cub next to each other - both skilfully made out of chocolate. The caption of the video reads, “Chocolate Tiger! Happy Lunar New Year!” It is complete with a tiger emoji.
