Handmade moon cakes attract customers

In recent years, the market for handmade moon cakes in Ha Tinh has grown strongly. From home bakers to small shops, all are creating a new craze, attracting a large number of customers.

Ms. Bui Thi Cam Tu - owner of Cam Xu bakery (Thanh Sen ward, Ha Tinh province) said: "Starting near the Mid-Autumn Festival, handmade moon cakes are very popular. Customers look for handmade cakes because they want a quality product, less sweet and especially highly personalized."

Consumers increasingly prefer handmade cakes over industrial products.

Handmade cakes are not only safer with fresh ingredients and no preservatives, but also bring a unique flavor that cannot be found anywhere else. Each cake is the result of meticulous care and attention to every step, from choosing ingredients, kneading dough, making filling, to packaging.

Diversity is one of the highlights of the handmade mooncake market this year. Besides traditional cakes such as mixed, green bean, taro, many people have created new fillings to suit modern tastes. Popular fillings include: green tea, melted salted egg or even durian...

"I see that this year's handmade cakes have many new and more attractive fillings, not just mixed or green bean fillings like before. The cakes are not too sweet and are beautifully decorated, very suitable as gifts" - Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang, a customer shared.

The boom of the handmade cake market has created an interesting competition. However, instead of competing only on price, bakeries focus more on quality and creativity. Ms. Mai Thi Kim Oanh - owner of Trang Oanh bakery (Thanh Sen ward) shared: "Although there are more bakers in the market, we still maintain the motto of putting quality first. We focus on making cakes with the most authentic traditional flavors, using the best ingredients to retain customers."

Because no preservatives are used, the shelf life of handmade cakes is very short, usually only 3-7 days depending on the type of cake and how it is stored.

Not only focusing on the quality of the cake, handmade bakers also invest in packaging and boxes to enhance the value of the product. The boxes are designed delicately, uniquely, with their own style, making the moon cake not only a food but also a meaningful and luxurious gift.

Handmade mooncakes are not only a dish, but also a message from the baker. For many people, making cakes by hand is a way to express their feelings to family, relatives and friends. Each cake is a wish for health, peace and happiness during the full moon season. Moreover, making mooncakes by hand is also a way for many families to experience and preserve traditional cultural features together. Mooncake making classes are flourishing, attracting both adults and children, creating a cozy and meaningful space before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Each cake is not only the result of craftsmanship, but also a meticulously crafted "work of art".

It is the personalization, creativity and affection of the baker that has made handmade mooncakes a sustainable trend in Ha Tinh. It not only meets the need for enjoyment but also brings profound cultural and spiritual values, making the full moon season in recent years very special.

To ensure food safety and health for themselves and their families, consumers should also consider carefully when buying moon cakes. It is best to buy products at reputable handmade bakeries with clear business licenses. Pay attention to packaging, labels, expiration dates and ingredients to avoid products of unknown origin. Smart shopping not only helps people get delicious cakes but also protects the health of themselves and their loved ones.
