Diary ღ 1 September 2014 ღ

The first day of September!
Hello, a new beginning.
There's a news about Hello Kitty recently.
【Hello Kitty is NOT a CAT!】
WHAT?! We had been lied for almost half a century. But... but... she's a British girl with cat's ear and whisker??? I still cannot accept the fact that she's not a cat although I always use "she" to mention Hello Kitty.

Anyway, I made Hello Kitty snowskin mooncake and I had no time to upload it yesterday. Tada! *Look at the photo below*
Oops! Surface not smooth, sorry!

I don't have the exact recipe for this mooncake because I bought the mooncake mix and pandan lotus paste directly from the bakery store. It cost me a lot :( However, the outcome is nice.

The recipe I got from the bakery store is here.

I changed the ratio of filling to skin from 3:2 to 2:3 which is filling - 20g, skin - 30g.

I converted all the amount by dividing it by 3 and then times 10 because I want to finish 500g of mooncake mix today.

So it became:
Moon Cake flour - 500g
Icing sugar - 500g (I used caster sugar - 420g) The sweetness is okay for me and my family!
Shortening - 160g
Water - 660ml
Flavouring (I didn't put this)

LOTS of sugar and water, wow! It took me few minutes to melt the sugar with water.
And then add in the flour and shortening, dough is formed.

 Grab 20g of paste and wrap it with 30g of snowskin. Use whatever mold you want, I used Hello Kitty mold because I don't have a mooncake mold.

My first Hello Kitty mooncake

The final outcome is here. I am here to wish you HAPPY NATIONAL DAY & HAPPY MOONCAKE FESTIVAL!

Mooncake for him
