A woman has taken TikTok by storm sharing her bizarre food creations – including dishes such as a "sunbathing" chicken and a skewered mannequin head.

Candice Danae, from Atlanta, first began sharing her creative meals in September 2021 – and has cooked for Mari every day since – with her first video racking up over 7.8 million views.

Now, the siblings, who both work as full-time content creators, share their incredible meals with the world and social media users can't get enough.

One of Candice's most popular dishes to date is a golden-fried chicken with a side of rice – served up with the poultry 'sitting' on a chair with a cocktail umbrella to 'shield from the sun'.

The video has received over 14.4 million views.

Other dishes are served up in toy trucks, treasure chests and even a rotating carousel.

Candice's has even presented her sister with a messy chicken hoagie on a skateboard and has also used a toy bridge to plate some spicy-looking wings.

On their joint account, the sisters (@mariandcandicee) have racked up more than 1.6 million followers and more than 70 million likes so far.

"I had no intentions on that [first] video changing my life," Candice told NeedToKnow.online.

"My journey becoming a content creator was a bit shocking to me.

"It started my older sister [Mari] began recording me while I was plating her food, and I was a bit annoyed and told her to delete the video.

"I had no idea she had posted it on TikTok until it popped up on my for you page and was going viral.

"We have received both love and hate [for the dishes] but we continue the videos as a series."

In one of their latest videos, we see Candice serve up some tasty looking kebabs – however it's the presentation which has caused some eyebrows to be raised.

To serve the kebabs to her older sister, Candice decided to use a mannequin’s head by decorating it with the juicy looking skewers – mimicking that of a wig.

With the final preparations done, Candice presents the final dish, served with a side of five dips and – to some viewers surprise – false eye lashes.

One viewer wrote: "What’s going on over there fr." [sic]

"What is going on in the House of Commons?," added someone else.

Someone else added: "My lashes on a drunk night."

"The lashes is how life is going righttt now," added another user. [sic]

Another viewer exclaimed: "NOW THIS IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE FRIENDDD." [sic]

For the sisters, the attention they have received has been overwhelming.

Despite the amazing response online, the sisters have received some backlash – in particular older sister Mari.

Mari added: "I use to get a lot of hate and being called lazy because my little sister cooked for me and a lot of people thought it was not normal.

"But that’s never really the case, people judge behind a screen and don’t really know the full story.

"I never took it to heart because everyone is entitled to their opinion."

The sisters have even released a cooking book with their mouthwatering recipes.

They hope to continue to inspiring others to think creatively when it comes to food.

Candice added: "It’s a pretty cool experience, it’s a pretty cool job and we are blessed to be put in this situation.

"All we can say is we hope we can do this for a long time and to also change the food industry world for good while doing so!"
