Growing up as a Chinese myself; I simply love big birthday celebrations! The yearly birthday celebration is what I refer as the "small celebrations" in life. Its the stage that reminds us that we're getting older, responsibilities grows and endless encounters (and more is yet to come)
However, the big celebrations in life is always a blessing, longevity, a celebration made up of love and not forget me not. It's a blessing and bliss to be up and still walking, healthy and fit. Back in the Chinese mythology, peaches were fruits that were served as an extravagant banquet to ensure god's and deities everlasting existence. Therefore, one of the reason why peaches were on this cake as a theme is to represent longevity. Although, it may require thousands of year for magic peaches to grow. Here at Sweet Tooth - we hand make each and every precious peach. And I'm so flustered when I was told that my client actually bite the peaches off the tree!
Life is the one thing I could never describe with just plain words. For that, I would never wish bad things to happen to people around me. I hereby wish everyone good health and life for reading this entry!

As the Chinese saying goes "Everything good comes in pairs"
The couple smile in pair as they hold the significant number "60". If you notice, madame has got a peach on her palm. That tells you whose birthday it is!
Finishing on the sides - branches and peaches with leaves
