Thank goodness Aunt LoLo came to my recuse! I thought I was doing so well last year to order them, then to find out I was supposed to actually be making/baking my own – SO not going to happen. :) Whew. Gal, hats off to ya, I am very impressed. That said, we do own the book that the rabbit in the moon cookie recipe is and I could probably pull that off. Sadly, that book is packed in a box that is being stored somewhere in the greater Augusta/Aiken area. Not this year, but hopefully next.

I also got some great ideas from your post, thank you. I had been looking for a special way to celebrate Little Bit’s birthparents, I think this is just the perfect time.

I don’t have anything new to add as this is only our second year of celebrating, but I am taking notes!

Cheers, thanks for yet another great learning opportunity,

Kiy

I am so glad you posted this– I was just looking at the October calendar for my classroom, found the “Moon Festival” listing and was wondering what to do…you’ve given me a few ideas. Thanks!

Wait…y’all MADE mooncakes? You’re hardcore, mama. HARDcore.

(I think the “bingpei”, or ice skin, mooncakes are much easier to make – they don’t need to cook. However, the ingredients are a little hard to find.)

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you and yours!
