燎花乃安阳市（旧称彰德府）传统点心，久负盛名，而以锦泰店制作的最为优良。据清嘉庆《安阳县志》载："锦泰、钢泰之燎花均甚驰名"。至今已有二百多年的历史。 　
        
    燎花，属南方糕点。据传清代时，浙江一位吴姓糕点师傅上京谋生途中，因病滞留安阳，经当地人悉心调理得以康复。他有感于安阳民风淳厚，便定居于此。并把制作燎花的技艺传来。燎花一出，深受欢迎，使南点在北方扎了根，历经二百余年不衰。    
       
    成品燎花，造型美观、面色金黄、剖面洁白、状如蜂巢、外撒对丝、浪似蓼花，故又叫蓼花。落口香甜酥脆、软绵易消化，营养丰富，老少皆宜，被视为节日聚餐珍馐，馈赠亲友佳品。
