The Autumn Moon Festival was wonderful! We went all out this year and made traditional moon cakes and glowing paper lanterns! Surprisingly, the moon cakes were fabulous! We were afraid the moon would not make an appearance this night, as the forecast called for rain. However, it came out in style! A double moon bow!!! They are rare to see and beautiful. We drank our tea, talked of family and had a great evening!
Moon cakes are fun to make...but they are messy and time consuming. However, the pay off is certain worth it. In fact, the day after they are made, they are even tastier! The ones we made had apricot preserves, chopped dates, raisins, and coconut shavings inside. The outside of cake tastes much like shortbread, but sweeter. Warmed up with some coffee, they are A-mazing!
