Imperial Peach-Shaped Birthday Cakes originate from Emperor Wen of the Zhou Dynasty. He had 100 sons. On his birthday, the imperial chef made a big peach-shaped birthday cake for him. After the cake was divided, 99 small peach-shaped birthday cakes were seen inside as a blessing for longevity. Emperors in later dynasties all used peach-shaped birthday cakes to celebrate birthdays. At the Ambassador Hotel, the Imperial Peach-Shaped Birthday Cakes are made in the traditional way. Each big peach-shaped birthday cake contains 99 small peach-shaped birthday cakes, which implies longevity and more descendants.
