Spring isn’t just blooming in gardens—it’s sprouting on dessert plates too! 🌱 A workshop in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, has reinvented traditional Qingming Festival rice cakes with eye-catching floral designs that scream “spring is here.”
Crafted from glutinous rice flour and fragrant Chinese mugwort, these vibrant treats now feature delicate flower-shaped details in hues of pink, yellow, and green. Think of it as nature-inspired edible art—perfect for the season of renewal! 🎨
Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, falls on April 4 this year. While honoring ancestors remains central to the holiday, this creative twist on a classic snack shows how tradition and innovation can grow side by side. 🪁
Local artisans say the redesign aims to attract younger foodies while preserving cultural heritage. After all, who says you can’t Instagram your ancestors’ favorite dessert? 📸
