Flower cake is a snack with flour, rose, magnolia and chrysanthemum as the main raw materials. Flower cake is a special food in Kunming, Yunnan, because Kunming, Yunnan is the main producing area of "big sweet petal" plateau roses. The petals of this rose are sweet and edible, so the flower cake made of this rose has a stronger fragrance.

Flower cakes have a long history and are said to have been invented as early as 300 years ago.
