3.2. How to make delicious and visually appealing 3D modern flower-patterned mooncakes
After preparing the ingredients, let's get started on making delicious and visually appealing 3D modern flower-patterned mooncakes with the following detailed instructions:
- First, mix Korean syrup and cooking oil in a large bowl, then add flour and mix well. For a more fragrant and enticing crust, you can add 2 caps of coconut / banana / vanilla essential oil to mix.
- After mixing the dough thoroughly, knead it until smooth and not sticky, then wrap it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 - 20 minutes.
- While waiting for the dough to rest, prepare your preferred filling by grinding it into round balls weighing about 80g each.
- Once the dough has rested for 15 - 20 minutes, divide it into small portions of about 45g each, add food coloring and knead until each piece of dough changes color as desired.
- Remember to leave some excess dough to make 3D decorative flowers.
- Roll out the dough thinly, place the filling inside, seal it tightly, then place it in a smooth mooncake mold and seal it. If you don't have a smooth mooncake mold, you can invert the pattern to seal the cake with the bottom surface of your flower mold.
- Roll out the excess dough and use the 3D flower-shaped mold or Fondant cutting tool to cut the dough into the flower shapes you want. Then, attach the flowers to the cake using water.
- Next, place the cakes in the oven at 150°C for 10 - 12 minutes, then remove and let cool. Apply the paste mixture on the surface of the cakes, then return to the oven. For the second and third times, reduce the temperature to 100°C for 5 minutes each time.
Once the cakes are baked, our artistic masterpiece is complete! These modern 3D floating flower mooncakes come in a variety of colors, both delicious and visually appealing, eagerly awaiting your enjoyment.
4. Key Considerations When Making 3D Floating Flower Mooncakes
- When glazing the surface of the cake, use a fine-bristle brush instead of silicone. Avoid excessive glazing and refrain from dotting the cake from inside out, as this may cause water retention.
- During the baking process, ensure that the oven or pot remains on, even when you take the cake out to rest.
- The mooncake molds and silicone molds need to be cleaned. You can rinse them with boiling water and dry them before making the cake. To make the cake beautiful, evenly sprinkle flour on the mold, then gently tap to remove excess flour before shaping the cake.
- If you are using pre-made cake fillings stored in the refrigerator, place them in the microwave to heat, then let them cool before continuing. After cooling, gently knead to soften the filling, then divide it into portions and proceed with the next steps as instructed.
