Chi's Cake

Chi is the patron of children in the Tekel religion, the younger sister of the god of oracles, Ahooai. During the Gods' Blessing Assessment, children are placed through a series of tests in order to determine if they have any ability in magic and, if so, how much. Once the test is complete, the child and family give thanks to both Ahooai and the chief deity, Padka. 
Regardless of the outcome, the child is then taken home and is presented with Chi's Cake. This is a reward for the child's work, whether they possess magical ability or not. Approximately half of the population cannot use magic at all and thus there is no social stigma to an inability to do so. Still, children are often disappointed in the outcome. From a religious standpoint, the cake is meant to symbolized the love Chi still holds for the child no matter how they did. Chi will continue to watch over them. 
For children who do possess magical ability, the cake is a show of gratitude for Chi and her brother's blessing. Along with this, it is also meant to symbolize Chi's unconditional love. 
The decorations of the cake change depending on the outcome of the test. If the child cannot use magic at all, the glaze used is drawn in a spiral shape to show that even if they cannot control magic, they are still connected through it. Those who are magical enough to use essence magic are give the symbol of the Fpridabmelin Snilodawa, or State Alchemists, the most prestigious organization for such people on the continent. If the child can use essence magic, the symbols of each element are drawn on the cake. Lastly, should the child be able to use fusion magic, their favorite animal is drawn. 
In terms of basic design, the cake is a swirling bun, approximately four to five inches in diameter. The pastry is very sweet, with cinnamon and almonds between each swirl. The toppings are done on top of the freshly cooked cake, after a single layer of vanilla glaze.
