Tips:

1. The ratio of the cake crust to the filling material can be 2:8, 3:7, 4:6. According to personal preference, I like the thicker crust, so in my single moon cake, the crust is 20 grams each , The trapping material is 30 grams each. According to this principle, the trapped material is distributed.
2. The traps are sold on the Internet. You can buy ready-made traps directly if you have trouble doing it yourself, but you must choose fresh ones with quality assurance.
3. When pressing, pay attention to the strength and method of pressing. A single plastic mold can displace the flower piece, so that the flower piece and the moon cake embryo are pushed down together, and then the flower piece is removed from the moon cake embryo. It is easy to maintain the flower shape of the mooncake, and it is very labor-saving when launching the mooncake.
4. When baking, you must pay attention to brush the egg liquid, brush the moon cake pattern little by little with a brush, and the finished product has a clear pattern, strong three-dimensional effect, and beautiful color.
5. Please adjust the oven temperature and time according to your own oven temperament.
