KIDS IN THE KITCHEN – MAGICAL MOONCAKES

This Spring School Holiday, Willowbridge Shopping Centre invites children aged 4–12 to step into a world of sweet creativity with Magical Mooncakes – a hands-on, no-bake mooncake-making experience designed especially for children. Using a delicious chocolate and vanilla biscuit mooncake mixture, pre-prepared by our Mooncake Makers, children will choose from a selection of fillings before pressing, moulding and decorating their very own mooncakes to take home and enjoy.

WHAT IS A MOONCAKE:

A no-bake mooncake is a modern twist on the traditional Chinese pastry, with a dense, fudgy and creamy texture similar to a cake pop or cheesecake bite. Using crushed cookies and a creamy filling, children can mould, fill and decorate their own mooncakes – creating a fun, hands-on treat without using an oven.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • Each child will receive pre-made mooncake dough (moon cake skin) made with chocolate and vanilla biscuits and dairy.
  • Each child will receive two pre-made fillings: BarOne Cookie Blast and Cookies & Cream (containing cream cheese).
  • Children will create their own Caramel Crunch filling.
  • Each child will make a minimum of three Magical Mooncakes, approximately 50–60g each, depending on the filling.
  • Children can choose from a variety of moon cake moulds, including cute animals and traditional-inspired designs.
  • Mooncakes can be decorated with sprinkles and edible gold dust.
  • Each child will receive a fortune cookie, which may contain a special treat for the child or parent. Event staff will assist with the surprise, and prizes can be redeemed from participating tenants.
  • Each child will receive a plastic apron and chef hat to wear during the experience, as well as disposable gloves for those who prefer to wear them.
  • A Magical Mooncakes photo frame will be available for a fun photo opportunity.
  • 20 children per session, with each session lasting 45 minutes.
