With a gentle press, the mooncake's shape emerged.
The top of the cake was stamped with the four characters "Lin Ji's Food" in a seal-like font. This mold was designed with Lele's help and belonged to the same series as her carved seals.
This helped establish a unified brand identity.
Once shaped, the mooncakes couldn't be baked immediately. They had to be placed in the freezer for about three hours. This effectively prevents the filling from bursting or the crust from breaking during baking.
Making these mooncakes required patience; only by taking one's time could the perfect effect be achieved.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, while everyone else was busy cooking and attending to guests, Lin Xu took the frozen mooncakes out. He arranged them one by one on a baking tray lined with baking paper, sprayed a layer of water on their surfaces, and placed them into the preheated oven to begin baking.
