A good mother personally transformed fruit into a cake, making her children admire and her sisters praise her.

With its vibrant colors, fruit cake is not only appealing to children but also incredibly stimulating for mothers who have a passion for cooking.

Especially in today's world, diseases such as overweight, obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes are ever-present in people's lives. The best way to minimize these diseases is to have a suitable diet and exercise regimen. However, at birthday parties or family gatherings, it's difficult to avoid "overconsumption" of fat. To help mothers solve this difficult problem, a reporter from Family and Society magazine interviewed Ms. Vu Ngoc Bich ( Hanoi ) about her idea of ​​making a birthday cake from fruit, allowing her children to enjoy their meal without fear of obesity.

Ngoc Bich's idea of ​​carving fruits into birthday cakes.

Speaking to reporters, Ms. Vu Ngoc Bich said:

" Making meals for the kids myself whenever I have the time is a hobby of mine. I enjoy experimenting with different types of cakes, especially fruit cakes. Although nowadays ordering birthday cakes for children from a bakery is convenient and saves time, the feeling of making them myself, especially on their birthdays, is much more meaningful to me."

Besides that, my kids also enjoy participating in the process. They get to express their wishes for a birthday cake, such as the shape and color... This also sparks ideas and styles for the cake. When they see the birthday cake exactly as they wanted, both beautiful and healthy, they are very happy and always consider it something special ."

For Ms. Bich, the feeling of personally making things for her children, especially on their birthdays, is much more meaningful.

Does it take you too much time to make these fruit-based birthday cakes?

" I often make fruit-shaped birthday cakes because they're healthy to eat and have natural colors, without artificial dyes. The fruits used are quite diverse, mainly watermelon and cantaloupe for the cake base. Other small, colorful fruits are used as decorative elements around the base."

Creating fruit shaped like a birthday cake takes the longest part, which is cutting, trimming, and decorating. On average, it takes me about 1-2 hours to complete a fruit cake-shaped product. However, this also depends on the size and complexity of the design.

What do children usually say when they get to eat a special birthday cake made by their mother?

" Besides enjoying the cakes I make, my children also love helping me bake. My two daughters often express their wish to arrange fruit platters like me when they grow up. And my son, whose birthday falls during Christmas, gets excited about it for a whole month beforehand, wondering what kind of cake I'll bake and what kind of birthday party concept I'll have. "

In addition, Ms. Bich said that when arranging fruit, the colors of the fruits are extremely important. When arranging fruit, you must identify the main types of fruit and use the rule of symmetry to arrange the fruits so that the fruit plate is balanced and visually appealing. At the same time, when arranging, always choose fruits of different sizes to make the fruit platter look full and attractive.

Furthermore, Ms. Ngoc Bich shared that, given the current concerns about excessive sugar intake, it's ideal for resourceful mothers to learn how to customize their children's birthday cakes using fruits. Additionally, if they don't succeed the first time, they can always turn the fruit into smoothies.

Homemade dishes may not be as glamorous and professional as those from famous restaurants, but they certainly hold special meaning and create many cherished memories for loved ones on important occasions.
