In celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival this October, celebrity-loved Vive Cake Boutique will launch their exquisite Shortcrust Custard Mooncake, an edible work of art that marries traditional Chinese heritage with modern day flair.
The traditionally decadent Mid-Autumn Festival treat promises to wow gourmands, all the while featuring less sugar. In line with the ethos of Founder Vivian Lau’s penchant for imaginative, creative, delicious, high-quality and healthy sweet offerings, the Shortcrust Custard Mooncake will delight everyone with a distinctive cookie crust-like puff pastry and a gentle coconut scent. A creamy and smooth custard fills the core of the mooncake, bursting with richness upon each bite.

Each box of mooncake (HK$298) comes with four delicacies cocooned in an alluring pastel pink box, decorated with beatific red-crowned cranes in graceful flight that bear a dreamlike quality. A symbol of luck, longevity, and fidelity, the majestic cranes soar in proximity to a full moon. Amidst the flight of these feathered creatures is Vive Cake Boutique’s signature emblem.
“Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most significant festivals in the lunar calendar. It is a day that unites Chinese people around the world, in celebration of reunion and love,” shares Vivien Lau.
“At Vive Cake Boutique, we believe that celebration of reunion and love should be ever present and eternal, and that is why we have put much thought into creating beautiful cranes to feature on our mooncake packaging. Cranes symbolise longevity with its fabled life span of a thousand years. We wish everyone around the world love and longevity.”
