I figured out quickly that not doing the following will produce soaps that are hard to remove from the detailed press cleanly. The details will be lost and the soap dough is difficult to remove from the press.

Most manufacturers size mooncake molds based on weight capacity. For example, a 200 grams mold makes a mooncake weighing 200 grams. I do recommend checking the size of all molds before starting a recipe. See below for how to determine the size of a mooncake mold.

The two-piece mooncake molds can be used for making baked, snowskin and agar mooncakes. Of course, some molds work better for certain types of mooncakes than others. For the baked mooncakes, use a mold with a flatter decorative top. This will make the cake easier to remove from the mold. Use the deeper, more recessed tops for making snowskin mooncakes as these cakes are easier to unmold.

Stamp mooncake molds have main parts: a barrel to hold the cake, a decorative disk, and a plunger for imprinting the design onto the cake. The stamp mooncake molds are made of plastic. The barrels are round, square or even triangular and come in assorted sizes. Common sizes are: 1.ounces/50 grams, 2.ounces/7grams and 3.ounces/100 grams. A stamp mold set usually comes with interchangeable decorative disks.

The stamp molds are ideal for making baked mooncakes and snowskin mooncakes. The plunger makes it really easy to stamp and release the cakes. Dough tends to stick to the disks and barrel so flour everything well.

You can make agar mooncakes using a stamp mold. Place a pair of chopsticks across a tall glass to hold the mold upright. Make sure the mold is level before adding the agar mixture.

If feeling creative, use a skewer and hand-make the designs. Cookie or vegetable cutters also work for imprinting patterns. Use the non-cutting side to make the designs. The free-form method works well for both baked and snowskin mooncakes.

Most mooncake molds are stamped with the weight capacity and I recommend confirming it. Check the silicone molds too as different patterns may have varying weights.

First knead toasted melon and sesame seeds into the lotus seed paste till well combined. Then, form the lotus paste into a log and divide into equal pieces, 105g each. Wrap each piece of lotus paste with one egg yolk (15g) and form into ball. You should have lotus paste balls, each weighing 120g.

To assemble the mooncakes, first flatten the soft pastry dough and wrap around the lotus paste ball. Gently push, press and squeeze the dough, holding the ball securely in your palm, until the dough skin gradually covers the lotus paste ball. Roll into a ball. Repeat this step to finish the remaining dough skin and lotus paste balls.

These mooncakes are best served after to days to allow the pastry to absorb some oil from the filling. Hence the skin will turn soft and has a crisp but crumbly texture.

SACRAMENTO — The wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that she's facing the same problems as millions of other Californians who are dealing with empty store shelves, closed schools and home confinement as social distancing measures take hold to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Her remarks were met with scorn. Several critics responded with the famous line attributed to Marie Antoinette: “Let them eat cake!” “Yes, lovely isn’t it?,” replied another. “Shame about grandma’s hideous death, but we got some pajama time with the kiddos!” “And having to step over the homeless on your way to search for toilet paper must be an added stress for you,” said another respondent, who added an eye-rolling emoji.

Some dozen Northern California counties and the Southern California city of Palm Springs have told residents to stay home, except to buy groceries, visit the doctor or do anything deemed essential.

Virtually all schools around the state have closed classrooms for several weeks, and Gov. Newsom has said that they may need to remain shut for the rest of the school year.

Newsom also has encouraged people 6and older and those with underlying health conditions to stay indoors. He's also called for the shutdown of bars, movie theaters, gyms and other gathering places, and for restaurants to only serve food to go — restrictions already in place in Los Angeles and several other major cities.
