Moon my cake !

The mooncake /autumn lantern festival fell on the full moon night 3rd October this year.

Being in Germany, it's hard for me to celebrate any Asian festival on a full scale.

Given my love for mooncakes......

(and I've tasted some really "heavenly smelling " ones like the durian mooncakes), I've decided to improvise this year.

So here's what I arrived at: French patisseries which I bought for € 3/- from Maison du Pain near Westend Frankfurt.

If it looks like a moon from the top.....

Looks like a cake from the side....

...well, it doesn't have egg-yoke inside, but instead has a very delicious chocolate mousse laced with jam filling....
It's got to be a mooncake !! French style
