Medusa, The Snake Legend
Before we talk about the famous story of Medusa, the snake lady, can we take a minute to appreciate this amazing work of art by Sugar_inspire? The artistry is giving us all the chills, and we still find it hard to believe this is just sugar and fondant. Sugar_inspired, a company that deals in confectioneries, posted this picture online and went viral because of its uniqueness.
Legend has it that Medusa, a beautiful maiden sworn to Athena to be celibate for life, was lured by Poisedon into the temple where she broke her oath. While some say Medusa was raped, others say she willingly gave herself to Poisedon. The goddess Athena got angry and banished Medusa to a faraway island so no man would want her. Medusa was sent away with cracked skin, madness, loathsome snakes for hair, and stone eyes. This cake by Sugar_inspired has all these details and we can’t be any more impressed.
