Cakes Industry is mainly concentrated in the
city area of Magong for the needs of residents during Chinese New
Year and festivals and the needs of Taiwan tourists. It has a variety
of products and also becomes a local famous product. Cakes
can be divided into two categories of turtle-shape Kuo and confectionary.
The common products are fried jujubes, Fangpien turtle, seventh
evening Kuo, Moon cake, Kaotsaitou, stuffed dumplings, sweet Kuo,
red turtle Kuo and Fa Kuo etc. These cakes are important products
that will be used in different festivals during the year. For example,
people have to prepare Fangpien turtle for the Lantern Festival
and seventh evening Kuo for the seventh evening of July etc. Moreover,
except the needs for traditional festivals, they are also an important
sacrificial offering in folk religion. The formation of cakes is
closely linked to the local life that no matter in weddings or funerals,
we all can see residentsˇ¦ needs for cakes.
