A sugary snack which is also a ‘work of art’ is captivating parkgoers to Disney’s CaliforniaAdventure.

Chinese sugar art is drawing visitors with its intricate designs and cultural significance, all part of Disneyland’s Lunar New Year celebration.

The molten masterpieces are carefully crafted by talented mother-daughter duo, Yujan Sui and Selena Yan.

But the sweet treat is so exquisite and so delicate, that some guests find themselves wondering whether to take a bite of it at all.

The Sweet Enchantments kiosk has become the talk of the festival offering a variety of sugar art creations.

The pair, who hail from Lanzhou, China, transform molten sugar into stunning designs that feel more at home in an art gallery than a theme park.

Their work includes symbols of the Chinese zodiac including serpents for the Year of the Snake, alongside playful designs like butterflies, pandas, and even dinosaurs.

‘It’s very, very difficult,’ Yan revealed in an interview with SFGate. ‘You have to have a picture in your mind when you’re drawing it. There’s no way you can stop, rethinking the shape or anything.’

Each piece taking only takes a minute or so to create but after pouring their heart (or sugar) into each design the result is nothing short of spectacular – and almost too good to eat!

This year the festival runs from January 17 to February 16 when the sugar stand will be dissolved for another year – but these sugary wonders will be sure to leave behind nothing but sweet memories.

It’s a sticky business but the pièce de résistance of the stand’s offerings is an intricate dragon, available for $15 – a comparatively small price for a chance to hold and taste such a rare treasure.

Simpler designs, including hearts or butterflies, are on sale for $12.

‘It was such a pleasure to work with them last year,’ said Edgar Hernandez, whose nonprofit Working to Give operates the kiosk.

‘They’re like family to us at this point. We love working with them, and we’re glad they were able to come back again this year. She has such a high expectation for how they look, especially when a customer is super excited about seeing these creations

‘If there’s a little kid that says his year is Year of the Dog, she’ll go out of her way to make it,’ Hernandez said. ‘I think part of the reason why she loves being there is because she genuinely just enjoys making people’s days.’

Talk about a treat that’s too good to eat! This is one art form that doesn’t sugarcoat its craftsmanship

The art of Chinese sugar painting is an ancient tradition, often seen in bustling street markets in China but rarely experienced in the United States.

Sui brought her craft to New York years ago, where it remained a hidden gem until Disney discovered her talent at Dragon Fest, an annual outdoor Chinese food and culture festival that runs each fall in the city.

Last year, the pair estimate they went through around 500 pounds of sugar.

‘In the old days, sugar art was pretty popular,’ Yan explained. ‘You could see the art on the street all the time. Right now, it’s pretty rare to see.’

Now, under the vibrant lanterns of Disney’s Lunar New Year, Sui’s work bridges generations and cultures, bringing a piece of China’s artistic heritage to a global audience.

Each swirl of molten sugar, poured with precision and care, tells a story of resilience, creativity, and a mother’s determination to share her craft with the world.

The social media accounts, Facebook and Instagram of popular Nigerian musician and activist Eedris Abdulkareem have been suspended by the management of the microblogging site Meta.

It was gathered that his accounts were flagged and taken down, with no access, less than a week after the music star released a new single titled “Open Letter to Donald Trump.”

In the song, Abdulkareem addresses the President of the United States, Donald Trump, appealing for his quick intervention to help resolve crises, particularly the security challenges confronting Nigeria.
Released under his label, Lakreem Entertainment, on TikTok on November 29, 2025, the song is described as both a message to the US President and a sharp critique of Nigeria’s political elite.

Abdulkareem describes Nigerian leaders as “criminals of all shades and hues” who enrich themselves while citizens suffer amid severe insecurity, including kidnappings, killings, and terrorism.
While singing “dem dey fear Donald Trump,” the rapper positions the song as an effort to bring global attention to Nigeria’s deepening crises.
