(CNA Reporter Tseng Ting-hsuan, Hanoi, 16th) Taiwan's Jelly Art Representative Team successfully completed a challenge on the 15th at the World Bakery and Confectionery Competition in Ho Chi Minh City, setting a Guinness World Record for "1198 3D jelly flowers" over 3 consecutive days, 8 hours a day. Artists stated that the Taiwanese team's long-term dedication and professional influence are highly recognized internationally.
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam hosted the "World Bakery and Confectionery Competition" on the 15th. The Taiwan Jelly Art Representative Team, led by the "International Jelly Art Association" (IJA) of Taiwan, successfully challenged the Guinness World Record for "1198 3D jelly flowers."
The "World Bakery and Confectionery Competition" held in Ho Chi Minh City from the 15th to the 18th is an international benchmark competition, attracting professional competitors and teams from over 22 countries across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, making it a major annual event in the global dessert and bakery art sector.
The "3D Jelly Art" competition category in which the Taiwanese team participated is a rapidly emerging food art category in recent years, combining precision injection techniques, 3D structural sculpting, and color design, emphasizing transparency, layers, and detail expression.
This category has a high technical threshold and strong artistic quality, serving as a multi-layered stage for competitors from various countries to showcase their strength. The Taiwanese team has cultivated this field for a long time and has achieved high recognition and professional evaluation internationally.
This "1198 3D jelly flowers" world record challenge focused on "Quantity x Speed x Quality." Under strict food safety regulations, 25 teachers completed 1198 jelly flower artworks within a limited time—8 hours a day for 3 consecutive days.
Each piece required meticulous craftsmanship and 3D layering, maintaining stable quality despite the high-intensity production pace, comprehensively testing the team's skills, chemistry, and on-site management capabilities. During the challenge, the Taiwanese team demonstrated the technical height and creative energy of Taiwan's fine food art to the world.
Hung Yu-chieh, Executive Director of the International Jelly Art Association, told CNA in a telephone interview, "This is the time to show Taiwan's strength, and everyone was very cooperative. It was actually very tiring midway; we didn't rest after getting off the plane and directly tackled the Guinness World Record, but seeing the finished products was very moving."
It is worth mentioning that, invited by the organizers of the "World Bakery and Confectionery Competition," this Guinness World Record challenge was applied for and coordinated by the Taiwan-founded "International Jelly Art Association." This demonstrates that Taiwan has acquired a leading role and professional influence in the international jelly art field, which holds symbolic significance.
Jelly flowers evolved from simple decorations on jelly into dessert artworks. The art actually originated in Mexico, was popularized in Vietnam, and was brought to Taiwan about 10 years ago by Vietnamese immigrant Wu Fang-tsao (Vu Phuong Thao), becoming highly popular among the public. Hung Yu-chieh stated that the world's best jelly flower teachers are in Taiwan and have been frequently invited to teach internationally.
Wu Fang-tsao, currently the chairwoman of the International Jelly Art Association, has trained many teachers in Taiwan. She told reporters that Taiwan's jelly flower techniques are world-class and internationally recognized.
According to the International Jelly Art Association, through this international competition and world record challenge, the world not only witnessed Taiwan's professional strength in fine food art but will also continue to deepen international exchange and technical development, propelling jelly art to a higher international stage.
Wang Chin-lan, Deputy Director-General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Ho Chi Minh City, arrived at the venue that day to cheer on the Taiwan Jelly Art Representative Team and also witness and congratulate the Taiwanese team on their successful world record challenge.
