A real mooncake at Twelve cupcakes

Every year, Chinese people celebrate moon festival with moon cakes.

Although it is called a mooncake, it does not actually contain any cake because it is filled with lotus paste and egg yolk.

The mooncakes here are going to go down well with Westerners and people who do not like the traditional mooncakes.

There are four cupcakes in the box, each one is decorated with moon festival related chocolate plaques and comes with Twinnings fruit tea for $190.

The cupcake flavours are:
Cranberry and chocolate
Strawberry and vanilla
Expresso
Earl Grey

The sachets of tea are:
chamomile, honey and vanilla
hibiscus and rosehip
Passionfruit and mango
strawberry and mango

If you order before 31st August, it costs $161.5 and $180.5 before 7th September including Two x 1 free cupcake coupon.

Earl Grey:

As soon as it was sliced, you could smell the earl grey.
It was moist, soft and sweet infused with earl grey tea leaves in the cake.

In the middle, it is orange to mimic the yolk.
I paired this cake with the strawberry and mango tea which had a sweet scent.

Strawberry and vanilla:

The vanilla cake was rich and buttery which was best paired with Rosehip and Hibiscus.

Expresso:


The expresso is great for coffee lovers because it had rich expresso buttercream frosting.

Cranberry and chocolate:


This was my favourite because it had a strong taste of cocao decorated with chocolate buttercream and dried cranberries.
