Final Thought:

The mooncake world has never seen anything like the snow skin mooncakes! Instead of the usual golden brown pastry, they are pristine white, and people are crazy about them. I knew I had to create the Woks of Life version of the recipe because the Mid-Autumn Festival was quickly approaching.
