Hi.

The Mid-Autumn festival is around the corner. I've been busy making mooncakes. Unfortunately, I failed twice and today I started the third times. I said to my friend "Today would be my third trials of mooncake making, wish me good luck".

Is my italic sentence natural?

Edited: Today would will be my third trials of try at mooncake-making. Wish me (good) luck.

I think you meant '... for the third time" there.

I'd say something like "I'm having my third go/attempt at making mooncakes today. Wish me luck!"

No. Your title looks exactly the same as it has done all along.
