Korean Decorating Art
Korean Decorating Art, or Korean-style piping, derived from the American Wilton method, is a piping technique that resonates with the aesthetic preferences of Asian cultures. In contrast to Western piping, Korean-style piping emphasizes a more realistic portrayal of flowers with soft, pastel color tones, aiming to capture the essence of natural beauty and vitality in each floral creation. The Korean-style piping technique typically encompasses various decorative methods, among which scraping flower (knife art flower) and piping (decorating art) are common techniques.
To practice this craft, pipers must undergo specialized training and obtain relevant certification. Certificates issued by the Korean Flower Cake Associations are recognized as authoritative credentials within the industry, symbolizing the professional competence and social status of pipers. Pipers who hold the Advanced Instructor Certificate issued by the Seoul Flower Cake Association enjoy a high reputation and better career prospects in the field, with the Seoul Flower Cake Association being the most prestigious association.
Building upon the foundation of Korean-style piping, pastry artist Lei Chen has innovated the "Chinese Oriental Aesthetics" of piping techniques. She meticulously blends various traditional Chinese color tones such as "Imperial Palace Red," "Amber Yellow," “Liu Li Yellow" to create piping designs that exude the essence of Oriental beauty. Her creations include floral motifs like sunflowers and peonies, each reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the East, especially China.
