Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn festival is just two days away. I've been busy baking mooncakes almost everyday for 3 days now. We also been eating mooncakes for 3 days too!  

This year I made mixed nuts, coconut,  pandan mung bean, and lotus paste. Baked traditional style,  puff pastry, and Shanghai mooncakes. All tastes very nice and aromatic. πŸ˜‹ I still have some fillings left...maybe I should make snowskin. πŸ˜†

Whole Food Berry Chantilly Cake

I rarely buy a cake from a bakery ever since I learn to bake. Now I will only buy when I really have no time to bake or when it's on sale and I want to try it. πŸ˜‚ Well, Whole Food famous barry chantilly cake is 40% off with Prime. How I can resist? Sometimes it's also good to try other's cakes so you can learn from it.  We have mixed reviews in this house. The kids says good and they like it while the dad took a bite and say not his type of cake. I think it's a good cake for $18. The cake is sweet and berries are tarts so it works perfectly.

PA Golden Pawpaw

I bought two pawpaw trees many years ago. One from Starbros and another from Trees of joy. The one I bought from Starbros is the PA Golden. The tree is growing nicely and produces a lot of pawpaw. The fruit rippen mid September. 

The other tree Sunflower I bought from Trees of Joy. Maybe it's the location but the tree is growing a lot slower than the PA Golden.  Fruit is not rip yet and probably rippen late September. 

Here are some pictures of my PA Golden pawpaws. Last picture is my mom trying to pick the fruits.😁
