It was a breeze making these Chocolate Snowskins as I had only 'stamp' it out. I do not have to be very precise in measuring the weight of each dough covered lotus paste as the presser is able to accomodate as tall a mooncake as you want. Unlike the traditional moulds, each piece of cake has to be of the same weight. Too big and it will overfill the mould. Too small and you will have a very short mooncake. The best part of using this presser is that I did not have to make a ruckus with all the knocking and banging of the mould to dislodge the cakes.
Here are my Chocolate Snowskin Mooncakes, some dusted with edible gold luster dust.
The presser with the interchangeable plates.

Hi there.....
If you don't mind, would you please tell us where we can buy the Mooncake presser? Thank You so much and GBU
Hi there,
Can you please tell me,other than taiwan, where you can get it? it would be much appreciated.
Hi Anonymous and Anna, I bought the presser from Taiwan. I believe you can get presser moulds from Phoon Huat. However, it does comes with a fixed design. i.e. the plates are not interchangeable.
Hi rusti,
Can you let me know where in Taiwan that you normally get your baking supplies & pineapple jam?
Hi Anonymous
I was actually on a tour to Taiwan that time and a business associate in Taichung brought me to that shop that sells the jam. The baking stuff were bought in Taipei. I cannot remember the name of the shop in Taichung. Sorry.
