In the upper image, figures 1-4 depict skilled workers meticulously pounding sugar paste on a marble mortar. With precision and expertise, they cut out delicate flower shapes from layers of sugar paste. The composition continues as they skillfully arrange flower petals or leaves and mold an exquisite vase handle using sugar paste. Moving to the lower image, figure 1-15 introduces us to an array of confectionery tools essential for creating these sugary delights. Knives, stamping tools, and molds in various vegetable and animal forms are displayed with meticulous detail. These tools were instrumental in shaping beautiful ice sculptures that would delight both visually and gastronomically.
