Ways of sculpture

1. Rounded Sculpture

Rounded sculpture is also known as solid sculpture, where materials are sculpted into a three-dimensional sculpture. Only experienced cooks can accomplish such work because of its difficulty.

2. Embossing

Sculpting on the surface and showing a picture is called embossing. There are two kind of embossing. One is intaglio, which means the pattern is lower than the surface of materials. The other is rilievi, which means the pattern is higher than the surface of materials.

3. Hollowing

Hollowing is based on embossing but it involves cutting through the spare parts, helping to better pronounce the theme.

4. Cyclic Sculpture

Cyclic sculpture is a way of sculpting that synthesizes a rounded sculpture by embossing and hollowing. It is the most difficult type of food sculpture. The finished articles can vary from vessels to hold soup or decorative lighting like a watermelon lantern.

5. Incision with mould

Cooks use moulds of special shapes or outlines to create small food sculpts, which are always used as decoration on the flange of dishes.
