Vintage Mooncake Molds

Yes, these are authentic fruitwood molds intended for traditional mooncake making. Because they are vintage items, we recommend cleaning them thoroughly and ensuring they are properly seasoned with food-grade oil before your first use.

To keep the fruitwood in good condition, always oil the mold after each use. This prevents the wood from drying out and helps maintain the integrity of the intricate carvings.

Because each mold is a unique, vintage piece sourced from Shandong province, the specific carvings and dimensions will vary. You should expect your mooncakes to have a distinct, one-of-a-kind pattern that reflects the individual history of your specific mold.

While they are specifically designed for traditional mooncakes, they can be used for other firm doughs or clay projects. Just ensure the material is non-sticky and that you follow the same oiling maintenance to protect the wood.

Avoid soaking the wood in water, as this can cause warping or cracking. Instead, gently brush out any flour or dough residue and wipe the surface with a lightly dampened cloth before applying a fresh coat of oil.
