He’s posted a video of himself crafting a chocolate tiger sculpture on Instagram this time. It’s to commemorate the Chinese New Year 2022, which is also known as the Lunar New Year.
The film begins with Guichon preparing moulds after moulds, each filled with chocolate, to make the tiger. He continues to sculpt them into the shape of a tiger cub. Everything about it, from its face to its ears, tail, and paws, looks perfectly like a genuine tiger cub. He completes the tiger sculpture by painting it with edible paint and drawing stripes on the cub.
After that, additional chocolate is used to create the tiger. Of course, on a larger platform. By the conclusion of the film, viewers will be able to see the larger tiger and the smaller cub standing next to each other, both expertly crafted from chocolate. “Chocolate Tiger!” reads the video’s caption. “Happy Lunar New Year!” exclaims the narrator.
