We are going to see her next time we're there.But I'm curious... who has gotten one and what did you get? If you've got pics great! I personally thought the monkey that I saw on youtube was adorable.

One thing I have noticed, is that she does not go for the ones who are trying to get noticed. She always goes for the quiet ones. I just show up and watch not expecting anything but amazing animals made out of candy and she has picked me twice.
Free if you are chosen by her to make an animal.
Depends. When you get to the park, pick up a times guide. Sometimes she comes out a minute or two early. And she is in Japan right outside the corner entrance to the shop.
Here is a pic I have, wish it were better. She added on green for grass underneath the monkey afterward.
Little known fact, she is only one of 3 people in the world who are officially skilled to do this...and she is the only female.
Is there some sort of guild or offical body ?
This place seems to do it http://www.luckyentertainment.com/artists.htm
This site says its a popular folk art in China and shows loads of examples of the work (it really is an interesting read)

I would not call a popular folk art something that only 3 people in the world can do.
I think the problem stems from the blurb on the Disney website, quoted below.
"Miyuki is the only female trained in the art of candy sculptures in Epcot, and is always glad to take requests when sculpting her creations."
She is the only female in EPCOT not the only female in the world, who happens to be in EPCOT
I think the poster meant "in the World" as in, in Disney WORLD. Not the literal world, but the Disney World. HTH!
