Food and Networking
Whether you own a pastry shop business or you simply need a networking boost, moon cakes can help build your business in China.
From http://www.entrepreneur.com/startingabusiness/successstories/article197044.html entrepreneur.com comes information on a uniquely Chinese cake used to curry favor and establish networking relationships for business in that country.
Special correspondent Joanne Yao, a freelance writer based in Beijing, describes the Moon Cake as follows in the Entrepreneur.com story:
