when we get to enjoy delicious mooncake pastries, pomelos, yam...
when we get to see children carrying lanterns walking around the neighbourhood...
The mid-autumn festival is the time when families come together to appreciate the full moon. I grew up looking forward to the fifteen day of the lunar eighth month...it is one of the many Chinese festivals that I really liked, I rank it right after the Chinese New Year :)

Perfect timing!
Oh dear, I already posted my snowskin mooncakes, look like have to make more in this month :) Thanks for hosting.
WOW! This is interesting :) I'm sure there are many talented bloggers making mooncakes this month.
vivian, hope you will be able to bake some mooncakes before your little bundle of joy arrives :)
Blessed Homemaker, I understand, I wish I could submit at least one post for Aspiring Bakers, yet I kept missing the deadline :(
Sonia, aiyeo, you can always make another batch of baked mooncakes, I am sure one batch is not enough ;)
love melody, love baking, I'm looking forward to your submission :)
Edith, I can't agree more!
Ah Tze, I am sure one batch is not enough, besides eating them, I believe you had fun making snowskin mooncakes :):)
Anncoo, I am looking forward to your beautiful and delicious creations!
Aw! What a pity! I won't be making mooncakes this year! Then you'll have one less entry! I'll definitely love to support you, but time does not permit. Enjoy being a great host! :)
Hi HHB, I was actually planning to try out the recipe which you've shared (http://happyhomebaking.blogspot.com/2009/10/happy-mid-autumn-festival.html) And wow, just nice you are hosting AB with the mid-autumn theme this month! May I find out from you, how long can I keep those mooncakes? Because I am planning to bake and bring over to Malaysia for my relatives there! :D Now I can kill two birds with one stone!
Wa, you are hosting! :-)
I wanted to submit for swiss roll, but no time. Then I wanted to submit egg tarts, but no time to bake too. :-(
As for mooncake ... 糕粉 I already have, shortening - not difficult to get from NTUC but it is the time factor that is making it so difficult for me .. sob sob sob ...
Whether I submit or not, I still support AB and you. :)
Hi Hui Qi, you can keep the snowskin mooncake for up to a week in the fridge, if kept too long, the skin may harden.
Sherlyn, hope you will be able to find time to make some mooncakes, whether you submit to AB or not :)
Had been really busy lately, just realised I've not updated my blog for more than a month. I wonder what have I been doing, despite cutting down baking and cooking :P
I'm definitely making mooncakes but it's a matter of whether I can find time to blog about it. Shall see...
love the assorted color snowskin mooncakes.
Submitted :)
Hi HBB,
I did post a snowskin and a traditional mooncake, I didn't use homemade paste cos it was spoilt and the snowskin mould impression is not sharp...can I join?
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer you may submit your entry as long as you post the recipe.
Hello, I'm new to your blog and enjoying everything in it. Was bumping along and found you from a local link. I would love to participate in this event you're hosting but does it have to be super traditional? I've recently posted something mid-autumn-ish and was wondering if it qualifies? Thanks. Going to poke around your blog some more now :D
Hi ping, you may submit your entry :)
