Pineapple cake
Overview
According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period (AD 220-280), Liu Bei married Sun Quan's sister with a wedding cake, and the engagement cake included a large cake filled with pineapples. In Taiwanese wedding customs, there are six flavors of engagement cakes representing the six rituals. One of the pineapples is also called Wanglai in Hokkien dialect, which symbolizes the coming of descendants. Pineapples are also a commonly used tribute by Taiwanese people, taking the meaning of Wangwangwanglai, which is deeply loved by the people.
