Most sesame cakes are two inches round, and special sesame cakes can reach two feet and more than two kilograms. On the front of the sesame cake, colored sesame seeds dyed with plant pigments are used to draw various patterns, including "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon" and "God bless the people" in the Mid-Autumn Festival, "Kirin to send a child" in the wedding and "Fulu Xi Shou" in the birthday.
