Colorful Snowy Mooncake

To add more colors to your mid-Autumn Festival (or Mooncake Festival), I am proudly presenting this colorful snowy mooncake!  The colors of its crust come from lemon, chocolate, and green tea powder.  What's better is its rich, thick and delicious filling inside!  

Let's have a look:
The filling inside:   osmanthus, lotus seed paste, and salted egg yolk.

Since it is a snowy mooncake (not required for baking), let's refresh the steps of making its 'snowy crust'.   To prepare for flavored ice skin mooncake dough, please refer to the materials and step-by-step instructions of 'snowy crust' making.

    Enclose 1 salted egg yolk in the red lotus seed paste (30g),
    Wrap the whole thing with flavored mooncake dough (from step 2) slowly
