QiuChuan Snowflake Cake

QiuChuan Snowflake Cake

　　QiuChuan Snowflake Cake is a specialty of QiuChuan Town, Changshan County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province. The Snowflake Cake from QiuChuan lives up to its reputation—its slices are as thin as paper, white as snow, melt-in-the-mouth, moderately sweet, and leave a lingering fragrance.

　　Don’t underestimate a pack of Snowflake Cake; the production process is intricate. The glutinous rice must be washed, sun-dried, roasted, and moisturized for about a week before being dried, ground into powder, mixed with sugar, stirred with water, enhanced with osmanthus crystals, and then firmly sliced and packaged. The way to enjoy Snowflake Cake is no less delightful than “Oreo” cookies—tear off a slice, dip it in milk or soy milk, and savor its uniquely delightful flavor. For young parents, soaking the Snowflake Cake in warm milk to feed their babies is especially beloved.
