Flower cake was created by a baker in the Qing Dynasty more than 300 years ago. It is widely spread because of its floral fragrance, sweet but not greasy, and beauty. The "Yanjing Sui Lu" in the late Qing Dynasty recorded: "April flowers made of roses are called rose cakes. Those made of wisteria flowers are called wisteria cakes. They are all seasonal foods." Edible roses The flowering period of flowers is limited, and this kind of cake uses only edible rose petals, which is one reason why the flower cake is quite precious. With the rising reputation of flower cakes, the tributes made by officials in the court made one of them become the imperial palace, and won the favor of Emperor Qianlong, and won his appointment: "In the future, the rose cakes used for worshipping gods don't need to be invited again. Can."

鮮花餅早在300多年的清代由一位制餅師傅創造,由於鮮花餅具有花香沁心、甜而不膩、養顏美容的特點,而廣為流傳。晚清時的《燕京歲時錄》記載:「四月以玫瑰花為之者,謂之玫瑰餅。以藤蘿花為之者,謂之藤蘿餅。皆應時之食物也。」食用玫瑰花的花期有限,而這種餅只用食用玫瑰花的花瓣,這也是鮮花餅頗顯珍貴的一個原因。 隨着鮮花餅名聲的日益升華,經朝內官員的進貢,使之一躍成為宮廷御點,並深得乾隆皇帝的喜愛,並獲得其欽點:「以後祭神點心用玫瑰花餅不必再奏請即可。」
