Show Notes
Moon cakes are a traditional treat in many Asian countries that celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. St. Louisans Ray and Leah Yeh, owners and bakers at Foundry Bakery, have their own tradition of creating Taiwanese-style moon cakes: Instagram-worthy pastries whose fillings reflect personal heritage and a commitment to sourcing the best ingredients available from U.S. farmers and purveyors. The Yehs talk about their newest moon cake flavour — jujube, goji berry and walnut — and the role word-of-mouth and key partnerships have played in their products reaching a broad audience locally and nationally.
