Lotus Candy Tutorial

Finally I manage to buy some candy at last night pasar malam to make a tutorial on the candy lotus. Here is my outcome I make. I learn from a self-called "Guang Yin Niang Niang" at TS hometown. See my post intro of lotus candy here.

Candy that I brought at Pasar Malam, 50 for RM3. I brought the cola Candy as it is red, and usually lotus is in red color. I do not want to eat so much cola candy, so additional I brought Lemon Iced Tea Candy for myself. I like this alot. Thought of doing a Lemon Tea Lotus Candy, but ended up too lazy to do.

We need to create the lotus petal. 1st fold the candy into 2 small triangular, use some transparent tape to stick them up. Don't worry how ugly is the tape on the candy, people won't see it from far as it's transparent tape. Make sure all the candy is fold the same place, to make sure its it consistant.

Here we start to make the lotus candy:

Take 5 candy and stick them together as per picture above. Let the candy stand when 5 of them is stick together. Tip: stick each candy to form a circle. This the 2nd level of the lotus petal .

Now the 3rd layer of the lotus petal . Start by sticking the candy on the between of 2 candy at the 2nd petal . Continue to stick until it form a circle as per picture above.

Now the 4th layer petal . Actually, if you feel difficult to stick the candy, you can stick the candy like a semi circle 1st the table 1st, later, try sticking them on the 3rd layer petal to form the outer petal of the lotus. Continue to add stick tape if you feel that it is not strong enough to hold each layer petal.

Finally, take 3 candy to make the 1st layer of petal. Stick them 3 in a row and each openning to the end to form a triangular shape. Put it on the middle of hole of the flower lotus. And it will end up like this.

Mission Completed ~~ Horray
