One kind of pineapple is pronounced "Wanglai" in Minnan dialect, which symbolizes the meaning of future generations. Pineapple is also a tribute jointly offered by people in Taiwan Province Province, which means "Wanglai" and is deeply loved by the people.
Early pineapple cake was too big for ordinary people to spend. Nearly a hundred years ago, Fu Yanping, a pastry chef in Taichung County, often took the burden and brought his own "Dragon and Phoenix Cake" to Taichung to sell. The original "dragon cake" is a big round cake with meat stuffing, while the "phoenix cake" of the same size is filled with pineapple stuffing. Because of its auspicious meaning, "Dragon and Phoenix Cake" is considered as an essential wedding cake for engagement and marriage. Later, after the improvement of Yan vase, the egg cake was reduced to about 25 to100g each, and pineapple cake was born.
