Blueberry and Cranberry Lotus Paste Snow Skin Mooncake

Feeling disappointed on the colour of the Snow Skin mooncakes. :( Due to the off white colour of the Kao Fen, I can't get the exact colour which I wanted. For the first batch I used violet and the colour turn out like dirty purple so the second batch I used sky blue but it turn out like blueish green. Even my son laughed at my mooncake and name it 'Greenberry mooncakes'. :0 Hahaha....
