This year's Moon Festival, or Mid-Autumn Festival, falls on September 22, 2010 (the 15th day of the 8th lunar month). To help families celebrate this holiday in an authentic Chinese manner – eating moon cakes while looking at the full moon – ChinaSprout is offering FRESHLY baked moon cakes from a bakery in New York's Chinatown. Moon cakes can be kept for up to two months without refrigeration. To learn more about the Moon Festival and moon cakes, click here and here.
Our moon cakes come in four different flavors. They are also packed individually and come in an unique collectible tin. The four flavors, from which you can choose, are:
- Red bean paste (sweet)
- White lotus paste with egg yolk (sweet)
- Mixed nuts (sweet)
- Winter melon (sweet)
Please indicate the flavor (in any combination of the four moon cakes) you would like to have in the Ordering Instruction. If you don't indicate the flavor, we will send you a mix of the four flavors. To make sure that you will get freshly baked moon cakes, we will only ship the moon cake orders on these dates: August 13th, 20th, 27th, September 3rd, 10th, and 17th (ground shipping only for customers in the East Coast). If you choose to purchase other products in the same order, we will hold your order until we ship the moon cakes. If you prefer us to send the other products first, please request it in the Ordering Instruction and note that the 2nd shipping cost for the moon cakes will apply.
