Smile

Overview

I usually make some Western-style desserts such as breads and cakes. During the Chinese New Year, I always feel that I should eat traditional Chinese snacks to celebrate the occasion. Today I tried making a smile. Unexpectedly, it was welcomed and praised by everyone! In fact, this snack would look better with white sesame seeds. Since I only had black sesame seeds at home, I had to use them. The taste is the same, but the black sesame seeds make the finished product look darker.
