Weng Zhiqiao worked herself to death and woke up reincarnated as a sixty-year-old grandmother. The original owner had never wanted children, and her husband had died in a plane crash, leaving her 200,000 yuan in compensation. Alone, with a two-story courtyard house and the compensation money, Weng Zhiqiao opened the cake shop of her dreams.

On an old street in Yashi stood Grandma's Cake Shop.

“Strawberry tarts: a tangy-sweet collision of ice and fire.”

“Cupcakes: fluffy, sweet cream and crisp chocolate with a hint of bitterness.”

“Macarons: delicate, crisp shells and soft, moist centers that melt in your mouth like ice cream.”

“Molten beef and smoked sausage buns: one bite and the juices burst in your mouth.”

“And taro paste with shredded coconut cake squares, cherry blossom bursting-cream ice cream mochi, bergamot mille-crepe cake...”

A few bites of cake, a couple of close friends, and a peaceful old age. (caiguai)

Weng Zhiqiao ran her shop in a laid-back way while making careful plans at every step. She built a nationwide chain of cake shops, a famous dessert factory, and, with her own two hands, a cake empire.

Reader's guide: The cakes strike a good balance between sweet and savory, so dig in without worry.
