2 pcs per set, vegetarian. Around 15cm diameter per piece.
This is more of a Hokkien tradition for celebrations of 1-year olds but we have adapted using a Teochew Mooncake Mould instead and using our Tiam Tor Kueh skin and Brown-sugared Dousha filling.
Ka Ta Kueh Explained below, adapted from Google (they are using our photo haha!)
Ka Ta Kueh (脚踏粿), or "foot-stepping cake," is a traditional Hokkien and Teochew custom for a baby's 1st birthday. It involves a baby stepping on a pair of large, specially made ang ku kueh, followed by stepping into new shoes, to bless them with a smooth life journey (顺顺利利), being grounded (脚踏实地) and going on to be successful in life (步步高升)!
Tradition:
It is a 1st-birthday ceremony usually paired with Zhua Zhou (抓周 - traditional fortune-telling of picking items) to celebrate the child's milestones.
Significance:
The giant red tortoise cake (originally) symbolises longevity, good luck, and prosperity. The stepping action signifies a smooth path in life, often wishing the child to be "down to earth".
Usage:
Parents help the baby stand on the pair of giant kuehs, sometimes followed by putting on new shoes.
