Mrs Teng: Your mooncakes are so pretty and definitely hotel standard like kendy and jandew mentioned.
Reminds me a bit of Marriot Hotel.
Jandew: Haven't start using the silicon mould yet, will start using tomorrow as I'm still test-trialing.
The ones which I posted pict of - the skin was too soft to be able to stick to the paste, must have added too much liquid or
probably 'cause did not dust the dough with koh flour when kneading.
Will update status on the silicon mould tomorrow. Btw, is it the bakeable type? I asked about this in a earlier post.

Jandew: Ok I try again tomorrow and post pict of the results with the silicon mould.
Actually, I ate the test trial moonies after 1 day of chilling in the fridge as I don't have much time
left - Have to prepare some for a mooncake festival party this weekend.

For the hk mould on the top right corner? izit the rice mould? May I know the weight of skin and filling u use? Thanks
Mrs Teng
Can't agree more. They look hotel Standard. The imprint is also very obvious. U using wooden mould or push mould?

Kendy, Mone, Fatmum
Thanks! But dun know how it taste yet.. Got to wait for a few days..
Fatmum
I used the push mould.. Very user friendly. Mould 10 moonies within an half an hour. It's the baking that's taking the bulk of the time.. esp the brushing of egg wash.. Got to do slowly otherwise there'll be egg bubbles and the surface won't look good.

I don;t know Daiso selling so can;t compare. I have both silicone and siplat mat prefer the latter. Notice silicone went place in the oven somehow the mat turn crumble abit so think cant really withstand the temp. Hope this helps. Maybe other mummies with both mat can comment?

Jandew: Sorry for late reply on the HK mould.
I tried the HK mould using 1 test mooncake. Think it's not a suitable mould for making mooncakes as its made of silicon
which would not produce a firm the mooncake shape compared to a plastic mould. The hello kitty mooncake was 'dented'
near the mouth - not a pretty picture.

Mrs Teng, nice mooncakes
where u bought the lotus paste?
Mrs Teng
your mooncake looks very nice. I tried baked mooncake on monday but failed. Have to try again next week, hope can succeed.
Make snowskin mooncake and thousand layer flaky yam mooncake today. As my brother is vegetarian so I have to cook the yam filling myself. Then prepare some for my aunties also. The snowskin mooncake have yam paste, white lotus paste, red bean paste and black sesame paste filling. I like the box bought from KCT, hehe!
for my brother
for my aunt

anyone know how to make the mini Choco and cream wassant tat sold at Provence? the roll really really nice but ex hor...

Although I dun really fancy yam but your 1000 layer moonies looks great! You baked or fried it?
all the best for your baked mooncake, remember to let the dough rest before you roll it out.
On average, usually it take 4 days to soften, mine already soften by the second day. Today's the 3rd day and they taste just fine.

1-0, nice mooncakes!
Breadmum, I put a layer of jello onto my sponge cake before.
What I did was set the jello separately and push it down onto the side of the cake and nudge it into place.
For cheesecake, shld wait at least 1 nite when cheesecake completely sets. Pour the cooled jello onto the cake, and refrigerate back in the fridge.

hope I'm not too late. after finishing ur chesse layer. Place in fridge for 20-30mins. lay sliced strawberry on the cheese layer. press in slightly for the chesse to hold on the fruits. Then leave for another 2hrs for it to solidify. Once ok then can pour in the jello and serve when it solidify
