These are some of the dishes we had at my grandmother's 70th birthday.
This is "caiyan" or agar agar, a type of jelly.
A cross-sectional view of the jelly, consisting of yellow, green, white and pink!
The structure is held together by sticks pierced through the buns. It has already been sliced into two separate bun halves, the filling was rather measly (I like buns with a generous amount of fillings hehe)
This is my grandmother's birthday cake. It is quite large in size and more elaborately decorated compared to typical birthday cakes. The two peaches (made of marzipan) symbolise longevity. The yellow flowers seem to be chrysanthemum but I do not know what they represent. These kind of cakes are ordered for special birthdays, when a person has reached a rather significant age in their life (like 70 years).
