It is the month of September, the only month (okay, along with the month preceding it) when mooncake selling gets competitive. Every year, mooncake manufacturers never fail to impress with better, more creative, more intriguing, or at the very least very aesthetically pleasing, mooncakes.
Minion mooncakes
“Angry Birds” mooncakes
If this 2012 limited edition Szechuan Court snowskin mooncakes get reintroduced, it would definitely take flight thanks to “The Angry Birds Movie”. (Photo source: Her World Plus) |
Gudetama mooncakes
Hello Kitty mooncakes
Nothing encapsulates cuteness like Hello Kitty does, so of course every year brings about a new design featuring the identity-challenged cat. This here is a 2013 design from Singapore’s The Icing Room. (Photo source: Aimakan’s Wordpress) |
“Star Wars” mooncakes
Don’t think these mooncakes should be lump together with the others on this “cute” list? Gift one to a “Star Wars” fan and you won’t have to wait long to hear the excited giftee’s squeal of fanboying- (or fangirling)ness. |
Pastel mooncakes
The thing with snowskin mooncakes is they don’t even need to be designed cute, they can make you go “aww…” just by going pastel. (Photo source: kirbiecravings.com) |
Rainbow mooncakes

Doraemon mooncakes
Being one of Japan’s most-loved characters, Doraemon too gets a different mooncake design every year; pictured is 2016’s. (Photo source: Airfrov) |
