Chinese wedding cakes
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Chinese wedding cakes are called " Dragon and Phoenix Cakes " or " Happiness Cakes," which are baked cake with dragon and phoenix patterns on the surface because dragons and phoenixes are the representatives of happiness and wonderful couples. The fillings of Dragon & Phoenix Cakes are made of lotus seed paste, red bean paste or green bean paste. The fillings are sweet, which means the sweetness of marriage life.
In Chinese tradition, the groom's family have gave the bride's family gifts, parts of which are always Dragon and Phoenix Cakes. Then bride's family will present some of the cakes to worship their ancestors and serve the rest of cakes to friends and relatives at the wedding parties and hope through sharing Dragon & Phoenix Cakes everyone can share the newlywed's happiness.
