What is Flower Cake?

Flower cakes are shortbreads made with edible roses, which are unique to Yunnan. They are a representative of Yunnan classic snacks with Yunnan characteristics. Flower cakes are sold in most local baking brands in Yunnan. Flower cakes are also one of the classic representatives of Yunnan-style mooncakes, one of the four major mooncake schools in China. The production of flower cakes originated in the Qing Dynasty more than 300 years ago. Flower cakes made from high-quality roses have been a royal delicacy for a long time due to their unique flavor and are deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong. Modern Yunnan-style flower cakes originated from the flower cakes produced by Kunming Guanshengyuan in 1945. At that time, Kunming Guanshengyuan in Xiba, Kunming, also opened up a piece of land to plant flowers for processing flower cakes and rose candy.

Can flower cakes be put in the refrigerator?

Flower cakes can be stored in the refrigerator without any impact.

First, check whether the flower cakes are individually packaged. If they are individually packaged, they do not need to be placed in the refrigerator. If they are in bulk, they should be sealed in plastic bags and placed in a dry place.

The best way to store food is in the refrigerator. The refrigerator has a low temperature, which is not suitable for the growth of bacteria and is suitable for the preservation of food. However, the refrigerator is susceptible to moisture. If you want to store food in the refrigerator, you must seal it well. Another thing to consider is the weather. If the weather is cool, it is recommended not to store it in the refrigerator. Store it in a dry and ventilated place at room temperature. If it is summer and the temperature is relatively high, it is recommended to seal it well and store it in the refrigerator.

How to store flower cakes

2. It is recommended to eat the flower cakes fresh out of the oven. If you cannot finish the flower cakes in one go, you can store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
