☆ Mid-autumn mooncakes ☆

not much time for prompt postings :P
was at the mooncake workshop two fridays back, pairing up with yanz ..



its the traditional taste of lotus paste with melon seed with single and double yolk..yumz!
looks and taste are comparable to all other commercial mooncakes..heh :)

didn't quite have the time to take pics in between but that's golden syrup in preparation of the dough, skipping right to the last step...which is setting the filling to the dough and to the mould..real time consuming

close up pic, had to differentiate double yolks and single yolk mooncakes with two different designs

both designs are with double prints..left is the mandarin duck yuanyang n right's goldfish..pairs are very auspicious ;) click 2 enlarge..

time was tight, so the pics were just taken randomly

★ Milk Crisp Bread ★

haven't been posting for a while..kind of forgot the font and picture settings
anyway i updated my baking groceries..



started with the simplest step of whisking the butter with icing sugar n milk powder



the butter dough is then wrapped in the bread dough- which was whisked in the bread machine.. the bread dough looks pretty much like mochi.. (click to view enlarged pic)



the bread dough is then topped with dessicated coconut..but still looks like mochi in a way.. :)
the bread only proof in size a little..probably not much yeast was used in the recipe..



the coconut garnish the bread nicely and compliments the taste well :)
