The 21-year-old wedding cake shop Dah Sing Song Xiao Liang Kou has seen dismal business performance in recent years due to the shrinking wedding cake market and a continuous decline in the number of newlyweds.

Both wedding banquets and the marriage rate among young people have been declining year by year.
Coupled with the monthly burden of store rent and broader economic cost considerations, the Dah Sing Song Xiao Liang Kou branch in Shilin could not withstand the challenges and has also announced its closure. The major shift in the wedding cake market has also led this long-established brand to pivot toward focusing on souvenir gifts.
