Just before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I received this year’s seasonal gift box from my company. As soon as I opened the bag, I found a familiar name inside—SunnyHills, a beloved Taiwanese brand known for its pineapple cakes.

Over the past few years, SunnyHills has become one of the best-known names associated with traditional Taiwanese pineapple cakes. Unlike the sweeter, more traditional style made with winter melon paste, SunnyHills focuses on a more natural flavor, with a noticeable tanginess and the texture of real pineapple fibers. It has remained a popular choice among pineapple cake lovers.
In this post, I’ll share a quick look at the packaging of the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival gift box, along with my thoughts after actually tasting the pineapple cakes.

The paper box continues SunnyHills’ signature minimalist style, with a simple kraft paper box tied with a dark-colored ribbon. I turned the box over to take a look at the ingredients, and the list was pleasantly simple. The main ingredients are pineapple, butter, flour, eggs, and sugar, without a long list of unfamiliar artificial additives, which made me feel a little more at ease about enjoying them.
2026 Mid-Autumn Festival Limited-Edition Linen-Cotton Tote Bag


One of the most charming extras from SunnyHills is always its linen-cotton reusable tote bag. For the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival limited edition, the front features a large golden full moon. Look closely, and you’ll notice that the moon is made up of geometric pineapple patterns. Next to it are several white jade rabbits leaping forward, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The simple, rustic illustration style gives the design a warm and charming feel, making it feel especially fitting for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the back, you’ll find SunnyHills’ signature illustration of a person riding a bicycle, along with its hand-drawn-style lettering. The long handles make the tote comfortable to carry, and even after finishing the pineapple cakes, the bag can be reused as a bottle holder or for carrying small personal items. Its practicality and reusable design are also part of what makes this gift box popular with many people.

After opening the gift box, I found two neat rows of individually wrapped pineapple cakes inside, with a small white card placed on top.

Inside the card, a folded brochure tells the story of Taiwanese pineapples grown under the intense sunshine of Bagua Mountain in Nantou, as well as the story behind these pineapple cakes.

Each pineapple cake is individually sealed in white paper wrapping. I placed a few on the table to enjoy with a cup of tea. Their compact rectangular shape makes them easy to hold and enjoy.

As soon as I opened the wrapper, I noticed the distinct aroma of freshly baked butter. The crust was golden brown with a lightly toasted finish, and the neatly shaped edges made it easy to hold.
Distinct Pineapple Fibers

With the first bite, the crust feels firm with a slightly crisp texture, along with a rich buttery aroma. The filling is not the sticky, soft winter melon paste found in some traditional pineapple cakes, but instead consists of Taiwanese pineapple cooked down to a deep golden yellow.

Looking closely at the filling, you can clearly see the fine pineapple fibers. It has a mildly sweet and tangy flavor, retaining the natural acidity that Taiwanese pineapples are known for. The pineapple texture is quite noticeable as you chew, while the overall sweetness remains nicely balanced.

I just checked the latest information, and it looks like SunnyHills pineapple cakes can generally be purchased through the official SunnyHills website as well as at its counters in major department stores.
