The implication of marrying a girl cake
Four colors are crisp and auspicious.

The most common wedding cake in Guangdong is also called Su Ling. The "silk crisp" in traditional gift cakes is related to clothing allusions. In the past, the weddings of rich and powerful people used the richness of gift cakes to show their dignity and style. Silk and satin are four luxury fabrics of nobles, of which "silk" is the most expensive. Therefore, "Su Ling" is the first choice for gift cakes, which means wealth.

Silk crisp (the price varies from 1 to 4 yuan) is divided into four types: yellow, white, red and orange: yellow silk is filled with bean paste, which means nobility and arrogance; White silk stuffed with cold sugar or five kernels represents the woman's chastity; HongLing is the most exquisite and expensive, with lotus seed paste as stuffing, which is also useful in winter, implying a festive atmosphere; Shredded oranges are stuffed with bean paste or shredded coconut, which means that the young couple will get married later. Some silk cakes can also be added with egg yolk to show nobility. It is understood that the appearance of four-color silk crisp represents people's sustenance for the new life of the couple, and also expresses their respect for the elderly from another angle. Therefore, authentic Guangzhou people, especially those with old people at home, will certainly do things according to tradition and strive for good luck.
