Dacige cakes are divided into two categories: external cakes and internal cakes. They pay attention to eating and baking, which is delicious and unique.

Pastry for external use is mainly used for tributes, gifts and rewards.

Seasonal cakes are made according to the season when flowers are in full bloom. There are rattan cakes and lily cakes in spring. Summer mint cake and mung bean cake; Chrysanthemum cake in autumn, Osmanthus Jelly; Winter radish cake, bean paste cake, etc. There are big cakes, chrysanthemum cakes and lily cakes all year round. The cake delivered to the door is specially designed for guests to entertain at home, such as a cup and cotton candy. Banquet cakes are made according to the nature of banquets, such as "Shou" cakes and "Ruyi" cakes used for birthday banquets. Festival cakes include Yuanxiao and moon cakes.
