Snowskin Mooncake

.
I'm absolutely thrilled to bits and pieces!!

Made the above 2 days ago and by today, it is all gone. Lol. It's pandan flavour snowskin (ping pei) mooncake with lotus paste and egg yolk. Pardon the egg yolk in the picture above. Probably it wasn't positioned properly, hence, only managed to capture a small portion of it only :P

This was my first attempt and i can't wait to make more, using other flavours for the skin such as rose and yam. Of course, i will be getting more paste too such as yam paste, white lotus paste and red bean paste for more choices.

I have already listed out one whole full list of peeps whom i'd be sending these mooncakes of mine to as a mooncake festival gift. Cant wait to see the joy on their faces :D

Next up.. would be baked mooncakes and also spiral pastry mooncakes [Crown Prince Hotel kind].

p.s: am wondering if i should start selling my mooncakes to friends and relatives.. can have more pocket money to go skincare shopping! :P

Thank you Celest! Your compliments always made my day :D

This mooncake is actually very easy to make once you get the hang of it. It's really similiar to playing 'play doh'. Shape and seal :)

Best of all, you can make it too because it doesn't require baking. Again, just the fridge will do *wink*

hehehe.. i always get very inspired when i read your blog and see pics. but as you said, have to "get the hang of it"... i'm not as seasoned, still better at eating than making. hmm.. non-bake, maybe can try ;)

Don't worry girl.. When i said get the hang of it meaning at faster speed else, at most, slightly slower in producing the mooncakes only =)

Have fun trying!
