马卡龙冰皮月饼 (Macaron Snowskin Mooncake)

 总觉得冰皮月饼要精细才好吃，所以相比去年，

今年的冰皮月饼我已从大模缩小成小模，

然后再缩成这马卡龙版。
I felt that snowskin mooncakes ought to be eaten in small amounts, hence the reduced sized compared to the last few years. And, just to make it all the more cuter, I decided to present it Macaron style!

 果然，五颜六色，不只赏心悦目，

还很方便，省了刀切功夫，

一口一款，喋上一啖清茶，赞！
As it turns out, these Macaron Snowskin Mooncakes are both cute and relatively simple to make. And boy are they delicious, with a cup of tea complimenting them!

 除了视觉上的享受，6款不同口味的选择，

带给你惊喜连连哦！
Not only are they pleasant to look at, but the 6 different flavors brings a variety of wonderful tastes!
