Too bad, i have no time to capture on how to make each of these cute character of baozi. But they are not difficult to make actually.
Porcupine or Hedgehog (what my little son claimed this ^_^)
First just shape them into oval shape with one end more sharp to look like mouth. Then using a sharp scissor to snip the top part. Use a toothpick to prick two holes and insert with red beans as for eyes. If you don't have red bean available, you can just prick two holes only.
As for piggy (some said it look like mice) pattern, it is almost like making piggy mooncake , refer here
As for flower buns, cut purple dough and plain dough into thin and long stripes, mix them and twist together.
