Lately I was inspired by some of the mummies from the SMH baking thread. They make really nice looking (taste I dun know, but they sure look mouth-watering enough!) moonies.

I am not a mooncake person, but I just want to give it a try and make moonies from scratch. The easiest mooncakes to make for beginners are the snowskin mooncakes cos they require no baking and are less time consuming.

I only make the snowskin from scratch, but not the lotus paste though - my 'kungfu' not there yet.
So these are my works - all in HELLO KITTY mould:

1st attempt:
Red Wine lotus paste with vanilla flavoured snowskin. Followed the recipe given but a tad too soft, but taste is ok.


Imprint not very clear cos i used the wrong mould


Inside showing the filling - red wine paste with mashmallow - yum yum


2nd attempt today:

I used the silicone bakeware and these moonies came out more defined. Love the rich colour although my hb said it looked scary!

I am still hoping to find a proper mould for making mooncakes and for collection as well. But its probably too late for this year. Maybe can keep for the following years. If anyone knows whereI can get this, pls buzz me!
