Mooncake giveaway


I know mooncake festival has passed and i'm definitely late in posting this or wishing everyone. But would like to make this entry happens for my own record :P


This year is the first year i have ever attempted in making mooncakes on my own: baked mooncake, snowskin mooncake and also baked spiral pastry mooncake.

In total, i've made roughly 65 mooncakes of the above and have given away 28 boxes which consists 2 each to friends and relatives. Flavour wise, they are as below :

  • baked lotus with egg yolk
  • baked red bean with egg yolk
  • baked spiral yam pastry mooncake with egg yolk
  • pandan flavour lotus with egg yolk - snowskin
  • yam flavour lotus with egg yolk - snowskin
  • lotus with egg yolk - pink snowskin
  • green tea with egg yolk - snowskin
  • white lotus with egg yolk - snowskin
  • red bean with egg yolk - snowskin
  • chocolate snowskin mooncake
No doubt, money, effort and time --not forgetting backaches too-- have been invested heavily in what i did but the joy [be it compliments or the smiles and thank yous i get] i derived from it?

Priceless.

And the picture captured below was part of my giveaway :D

Sherie, you are GREAT, gal! 65 boxes of mooncakes?! I would have 'peng-san' *LOL*

Angie, lol.. no no, not 65 boxes of mooncakes but 65 pcs of mooncakes. If 65 boxes of mooncakes, i would have pengsan too plus i don't have that many friends to give them away :P
