How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh kiwi
- A good kiwi is one that feels moderately soft when you press the stem end; if it feels hard, it is not ripe yet and will taste sour.
- You should choose fruit that is round and not too large or too small. Additionally, the outer skin should be smooth, without tears, cracks, or too many scratches.
- Avoid buying bruised or misshapen fruit as that indicates the kiwi has been stored for too long and will not taste good.
How to choose fresh and delicious strawberries
- Fresh and delicious strawberries are large, bright red, look plump and juicy, and still have their caps intact with fresh green leaves.
- In addition, you can rely on the aroma to select strawberries. Strawberries with a mild fragrance are naturally ripe, while those with a strong chemical smell should not be purchased.
- Moreover, you should avoid choosing fruits that are dull in color, bruised, deformed, or rotten as these are signs that the strawberries have been kept for too long.
How to choose fresh and delicious grapes
- Choose grapes of moderate size, with a smooth, shiny green skin that is not bruised. In particular, some fresh grapes still have a thin layer of powder on the surface.
- Normally, good grapes will have green and firm stems; if the stems turn dark brown and look withered, that indicates the grapes have been kept for too long.
- Avoid selecting fruits that are soft or show tiny spots, as these may indicate the grapes are diseased or have been treated with chemicals to preserve them longer.
How to choose fresh and delicious dragon fruit
- Delicious dragon fruit are round-shaped, with beautiful pink skin, avoid selecting fruits that are bruised or have dark spots on the surface.
- Choose fruits that have soft, pliable lobes, bright green color, and are not curled, dried, or fallen off.
- Additionally, when touched, they should feel slightly soft, not too hard. At the same time, you should feel their weight when lifting them up.
How to choose fresh and delicious cantaloupe
- Delicious cantaloupe has a green color and clear, prominent lines on its surface. Additionally, avoid choosing fruits with lines that gradually turn brown or have too many bruises.
- When held, it should feel firm, not too soft or mushy. At the same time, a good cantaloupe also has a light, pleasant aroma; if you smell a strong odor, do not buy it.
- Especially, if you shake the cantaloupe and hear a light sound, it is a sign that the cantaloupe is ripe and very tasty.
How to choose fresh and delicious mangoes
- A good mango will have an evenly yellow skin, smooth texture, without roughness or any tiny blemishes on the surface.
- When pressed, it should feel firm, not mushy, and the stem should still be hard, not broken or detached from the fruit.
- Additionally, you can also rely on the fragrance to choose. If you smell a pure, light aroma, it is naturally ripe mango; conversely, if you detect a strong chemical smell, absolutely do not buy it.
Where to buy cake ingredients

- Additionally, you can also make whipping cream right at home with a very simple recipe that can enhance the flavor of the dish even more.
