Are you talking about Moon Pies, or are cakes something different?

Moon cakes are part of the Chinese Mid-Autumn (or Moon) festival. It's their harvest celebration.

You can have the yolk. I toss the yolks out, and eat the lotus paste ones only.

The Japanese ones with the bean paste sounded best to me. I had a Burmese friend growing up, and his parents would get a lot of Asian foods. My 2 favorites were sweet bean cakes, and dried/salted fruits.
