Traditional Chinese Wedding Cake Recipe Help!!!?

am appealing..hello! my brother is marrying a wonderful chinese lady who has been a friend of the family for a long time. My Mom and I are cake decorators and are baking the wedding cake for THIS SATURDAY! she wants a traditional chinese wedding cake...she has given us these ingredients translated from her Mother and her recipe:





separate eggs, add sugar to whites, add flour and oil, and water. stir til foamy. The problem is, there are no AMOUNTS (her Mother said, 'add to preference'? ;) and my Mother and i need to know the amounts for each ingredient.





We found this recipe,


1 cup sifted flour


1 teaspoon baking powder


6 eggs, separated


1 cup granulated sugar


1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, very well drained


Whipped Cream Frosting (below)


but it substitutes pineapple for the oil. are we getting close? she mentioned a fruit filled cake! back to internet surfing thank you!!!!!!!!!Traditional Chinese Wedding Cake Recipe Help!!!?
Maria, she IS asking a question!





Is this the wedding cake that is the actual big cake for the wedding, or is it the cakes that the couple order to let everyone know there is going to be a wedding?








Here is a website that may help you, i strongly suggest making mini's of a few variations, and getting the parents and couple's to taste test.. Then even maybe visit china town and venture into thier bakery to see how they do it?..
