Here's some pics i took: I couldn't ask the person about it because they didn't understand English and noone who was with me speak Mandarin. The only thing i know is that he used caramel and did some things to end up with your Chinese horoscope(like the 4th and 5th pics).
i dont think its really some type of art. it is really similar to something i saw in this cooking drama that i saw..... i think the name was.... The Gateau Affairs. They would heat the caramel and then reshape it before it cooled off
