|Description=These are small, round cakes, usually around two inches in diameter. The cake is pink-colored, although the shade can be lighter and darker depending on the amount of syrup that is used. They are very pretty cakes, but unless the beet syrup is used in extreme moderation, almost always inedible, as they are far too sweet. They are usually served at fancy galdori parties, hosted by people who can afford to waste a bit of money on pretty cakes which are largely no more than decorations. | |Description=These are small, round cakes, usually around two inches in diameter.
