These Red Bean Flower Cakes were so fun to make. It might appear to be difficult, but all you need are a few basic ingredients. You can make them into any shape you like or if you want something simple, roll them into a ball instead.

As I am writing this, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Traditionally, it is considered as the second most important holiday after Lunar New Year’s in many East Asian countries. It is a day where families gather together and a time to celebrate all the harvests of the year. On this day, the moon is said to be the brightest and roudest, highlighting the importance of family reunion.

When I was home, my mom would make mooncakes and prepare for a ritual to honor our deities. Lanterns will be seen throughout Chinatown and any other cities where the holiday will be celebrated. Although I am not home right now, I tried to keep the tradition alive. Although these are not mooncakes, they are a fun alternative to them. They are not overly sweet and you can have them for breakfast too with a cup of tea. Red bean paste is a common sweets filling in many Chinese desserts.
