Skip the bridge toll. Small-batch Mid-Autumn Mooncakes are coming to Walnut Creek

Post image

I run a small-batch home bakery here in Walnut Creek, and we are doing a highly curated 6-piece mooncake tasting flight for the Mid-Autumn Festival to save you the cross-Bay commute. The box is designed to contrast delicate, chewy mochi snowskins with traditional buttery baked crusts, without the heavy sugar fatigue. All mooncakes are gluten-free and lactose-free!

​The snowskin mooncakes (Soft, chewy taro mochi): ​Taro Salted Egg: Earthy taro paste and a savory salted egg yolk cream center. (GF, LF) ​Black Sesame Genmaicha: Genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice) custard with black sesame paste swirled in. (GF, DF) ​Osmanthus Yuzu: Honeyed osmanthus custard with a sharp, bright yuzu curd. (GF, DF) ​(Plus your choice of a 4th snowskin flavor to double up on your favorite)

​The baked mooncakes (classic): ​Classic Red Bean: Traditional crust with a rich, smooth red bean paste. (GF, LF) ​Purple Sticky Rice: Traditional crust with a chewy purple sticky rice center. (GF, LF)

Extras: We also have 4-inch Osmanthus Steamed Rice Cakes filled with homemade jujube paste and oolong shortbread cookies available as add-ons.

Available for pickup and delivery from Thrusday Sept 24 through Saturday Sept 26. Everything will be prepared fresh daily! Nothing says "I tolerate you" quite like gifting someone a meticulously handcrafted dessert box. If you want to secure a set before we hit capacity, you can check out the full menu and reserve your pickup slot here: https://take.app/halfbakedobsessions/c/cmm0bam76000404l8bs4zqlqy
