RUSU Presents:

Snowskin Mooncake Making Workshop with Anther

Join us to celebrate the Lunar Calendar Mid Autumn (Mooncake) Festival, by learning to make Snowskin Mooncakes with Anther Oria Low.

Have you ever been to the Asian grocer and seen these beautifully ornate looking cakes around certain times of the year and wondered what they were?

Mooncakes are a traditional sweet Chinese pastry symbolizing harmony and the full moon, made and appreciated during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They are popular in Chinese and Asian cultures, and there are many different styles. The Snowskin variety is a no-bake version using a glutinous rice shell with various fillings, and is lighter than the more labour intensive traditional style yellow pastry, egg yolk and lotus seed paste filled cakes.

Making and sharing mooncakes is a traditional practice of the festival so come along and join in the fun and learn how to make and color your own delicious snowskin mooncakes in this beginner friendly, hands on workshop. Snowskin Mooncakes are vegetarian friendly, gluten-free, and halal.

Attendance of the workshop includes taking home your own mooncakes, PLUS a $5 Realfoods Canteen Voucher to come back and have a meal on us later on.
