Teochew Spiral Yam Mooncake

Don't you just love those layers and layers of spiral effect on teochew mooncakes!?


This is my first try on making mooncakes...and i dared myself to bake this..
I've not tried on making flaky skins too...~
so...this is my many first times by baking this...



1 big pile of yam....



was so glad to see this!
i knew i was 50% successful~~





But disaster came...
Most of them fell apart after baking...~ =(



And this is my 2nd tray..~~
it's much nicer~~Phewww~~



I think improvements can be made!
and now im more confident in making Siew bao...char siew sou...and spiral curry puff!!!
didn't have the courage to try all these with flaky skins~~


I gave my in laws 4 mooncakes...
as my mil is a teochew...she loves it...
glad that she likes it!! HAPPY!!
cos i spent a long long time...about 6 hours~~!
Taken by my man's DSLR...from this picture onwards...
so the colour looks totally different from the above pics~~



I don't have any fancy mooncake boxes to go with..
so i used this cutie flag to decorate!



Kawai!?!?!



Have a bite! =)

But i'm dead beat now...total 8 hours~~~
really no joke...~~
b4 that I also baked cookies for my students...
but in the end..i decided not to give this batch as it's not up to my expectation
i will re-do and improve on it! =)

Will update very soon!
