Snowskin Mooncake Making Step-by-Step:
1. Take out 2 table spoon of Koh Fun and set it aside on the blue mat provided for dusting use later
2. Add Koh fun, icing sugar, and coffee powder (or other powder form flavouring) into the stainless steel bowl, mix them evenly with a spatula
3. Add in 90g of water into the mixture and knead into a dough to be use to make the Mooncake skin later; Divide the dough into half and set them aside once 
4. Divide the paste/ filling into half; work on one of the half and set half aside for later 
5. Divide one of the half portion filling evenly into 5 and roll them into round/ ball form
6. Then, proceed with dividing half portion of the Mooncake Skin dough into 5 and roll them into round/ ball form

[Start wrapping Mooncakes]
7. Use a rolling pin/ or your hands to flatten a piece of Mooncake skin ball (for easier wrapping later, center part of the flatten ball should be thicker than the outer area)
8. Wrap it around a piece (ball) of filling. Gently push the wrapper upwards to seal completely (try not leaving any space/air between the skin and the filling)
9. Dust the mould with a bit of Koh Fun/ icing sugar
10. Put a Mooncake ball it into the mould, place the mould on the blue mat, gently press to shape.
