I made mooncakes for the first time yesterday, I wanted to be ready to make them for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. I've been buying them for a long time and decided to finally make them myself.

They're not as difficult as I expected, actually. Since the cakes are molded there's some nuance to getting the dough the right thickness. Making them at home gives an incredible variety of options for fillings; I did purple sweet potato, cheesecake, and matcha.
