I only like to eat moon cake with yolk the more yolk the better and is so expensive with lots of yolk. Did you buy any moon cake here in the states? Three years ago I bought two moon cake in Minneapolis (where dawn is living) the moon cake taste horrible! I think is made in USA. The lotus paste was horrible!Have u tried the moon cake made here? I am thinking of getting some here but hopefully the ones from Hong Kong because I hear that moon cake from Hong Kong taste good.Sunshinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04826838114547363789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098806767610764815.post-51058336773449933842009-10-01T23:16:03.649-04:002009-10-01T23:16:03.649-04:00Anncoo:<br />Thanks for your tips and kind words:) now I learn from mistake and will improve better next time:)<br /><br />2crazydog:<br />thank you for your kind words:) happy mid autumn festival to you too:)<br /><br />sunshine:<br />thank you for your compliments:) No I didn&#39;t make the lotus paste,I brought back from Malaysia..Eliot not interested in chinese cake la.I&#39;m also not a fan of mooncake but love to experiment soemthing new.actually snow skin mooncake is very easy to make..if you live near me I will throw you few pieces of this gem...haha!My Asian Kitchenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00232672470428482604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098806767610764815.post-57855796885749360042009-10-01T15:05:45.334-04:002009-10-01T15:05:45.334-04:00I love snow skin moon cakes but my mom don&#39;t buy for me when I was back home because she said is too sweet so I only depended on my dad&#39;s customers to give us..LOL<br />I was thinking of asking my mom to get me moon cake mold but my aunt who use to teach baking said that moon cake is very challenging to make. <br />Your moon cake looks really pretty. Don&#39;t look like this is the first time you actually made it.<br />Does Eliot makan moon cake?

Not all moulds are standard size, so before you mould your mooncake you need to measure first.<br />Before you mould your mooncake it is better to roll the ball on the flour (not too much flour) and then press it into the mould.Anncoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12203098783181636146noreply@blogger.com
