World News – AU – Here are this year’s most luxurious moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival

The moon cakes are here With the Mid-Autumn Festival fast approaching, brands have spent the last week spreading their version of the 3,000-year-old tradition It seems that the details we loved the most from previous years – branded cake stamps and creative packaging – were widely adopted by the majority of brands

Over the years, a big difference from our first year of coverage can be seen with the current trend of using smaller, bite-sized moon cakes with toppings inspired by Western desserts. Gone are the days of lotus seed paste and egg yolk, and in its place you will now find flavors like custard, matcha and chocolate

This year has been by far the most opulent presentation This could be the result of the ongoing coronavirus which has resulted in many canceled events leading to an unspent marketing budget For this year customary brands like Tiffany & Co, Loewe , Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Fendi, CLOT, Versace, Alexander McQueen and Saint Laurent return for lofty interpretations There was almost no trace of the traditional pewter cases typically used to store moon cakes, but instead , wooden and fine paper boxes with real metal material were used The biggest surprise came from Audemars Piguet where his moon cakes came in a large piano finish display cabinet that doubles as a shadow puppet display. This set was also packed with fine Chinese tea

Other honorable mentions include the Medusa moon cake set by Versace that doubles as a jewelry box, the mid-fall table display lamp from Hermès, and the « GG » ornamental paperweight from Gucci. Take a look at this year’s best luxurious moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival above
