A one-of-a-kind experience, only at Gateway, sees a giant forest of lollipop trees whose canopy is a pastel palette of turquoise and pink and lime.
Imaginative scenes wait to be discovered along the meandering chocolate path. There is a mouth-watering cupcake iced to perfection; glazed donuts dripping in chocolate and sprinkles.
The timeless favourites are there in their colourful liquorice and sugary glory.
The tall, the round and even the bumpy sprinkle-coated ones.
Whirls of larger-than-life ice-cream look desperate to be licked as they melt in their cones.
But Sweetopia is so much more than a physical fantasy.
