This year’s Mid-Autumn celebration at Polar Puffs & Cakes takes shape in our newly unveiled 2025 mooncake collection, Moonlit Memories – Lanterns of Flavours. Each creation was designed to bring together cherished traditions with fresh taste experiences.
Now that the collection has been revealed, it feels only right to share the inspiration behind it. Every detail, from the colour palette to the packaging and the flavours themselves, was created to honour the timeless customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Savour the season with our Moonlit Memories mooncakes, as they are a story woven with flavours and cherished memories.
The inspiration behind Moonlit Memories
The design and theme of this year’s collection stemmed from a deep appreciation of nostalgia. One of the strongest visual inspirations came from retro candle boxes, which many of us remember from our childhood. The vibrant shades, playful prints and slightly old-school charm of these boxes carry an undeniable magic. They remind us of festive evenings spent with family and friends, where lanterns lit the night sky and joy lingered in the air.
We wanted our packaging to capture this same essence. The colours chosen for our Moonlit Memories boxes draw from this palette, bringing a combination of brightness and warmth that immediately calls back to simpler days. When you see the box, you do not just see mooncakes but a piece of tradition beautifully preserved and reimagined.
Our collection is also inspired by the timeless beauty of cellophane lanterns, a familiar sight during Mid-Autumn celebrations. Their colourful glow, delicate patterns and warm light embody the joy and wonder of the festival and we wanted to capture that same enchantment in our packaging and design.
Activities that shaped the theme
Mid-Autumn Festival has always been more than mooncakes. It is the cherished customs that bring people together. Riddle guessing, lantern walks and the glow of candlelight are just some of the many activities that make the festival special. These activities inspired not only the visuals but also the spirit of our Moonlit Memories collection.
Riddle guessing, for instance, is a playful challenge that sparks curiosity and fun. This same sense of discovery can be found in the variety of mooncake flavours we have created. Lighting candles and lantern walks, on the other hand, bring communities closer, spreading a warm glow through shared experiences.
Among these traditions, the sight of children carrying glowing cellophane lanterns is especially memorable, colourful and full of life. It is this imagery that guided the spirit of Moonlit Memories, as our collection seeks to mirror that warmth and togetherness through flavours best enjoyed with loved ones.
Designed for sharing
Mooncakes have always been at the heart of Mid-Autumn gatherings. They symbolise reunion, harmony and the joy of sharing. Our Moonlit Memories collection was created with this spirit in mind. The boxes are designed to be shared, gifted and displayed proudly at gatherings. We believe mooncakes are best enjoyed not alone but as part of a collective celebration with those closest to us.
This is also why we carefully considered how our mooncakes are presented. Every box is a keepsake that reflects the care and thought we put into the collection. For many, the packaging is the first glimpse of the celebration that awaits inside, and we wanted that moment to be as meaningful as the taste itself.
Where tradition meets modern convenience
In today’s busy world, we understand that convenience is as important as tradition. That is why, in addition to our physical outlets, we are also an online cake shop in Singapore . This makes it easy for you to browse online-exclusive options and order the Moonlit Memories collection from the comfort of your home. Whether you prefer to pick up your halal mooncakes in person or have them delivered, we make sure the experience is seamless.
This balance of tradition and modern convenience reflects the essence of our halal mooncakes themselves. Just as the flavours combine old and new, the way you can enjoy them also brings together heritage and contemporary lifestyle. We wanted to ensure that no matter how you celebrate, our mooncakes can be part of your story.
