Cake
Description
Delicious baking for the whole family. You probably won't find a peach-shaped pastry on a traditional Chinese New Year table. But we don't celebrate the New Year in February, nor do we follow Chinese traditions strictly—we treat the year's symbol as a fun theme. That's why this little cake fits perfectly on our festive table. See details below.
