‘Tem-Bee-Kai’ is one of the many character-themed watermelon cakes by MH Fruits. (MH Fruits pic)KUALA LUMPUR: Birthday cakes don’t always have to be made of sponge and buttercream. For Madihah Amirah Mohd Roshdy, a watermelon does just fine.
The 37-year-old founder of “MH Fruits” creates elaborate cakes using fresh watermelon as the base, decorated with colourful arrangements of strawberries, oranges, kiwis, grapes, blueberries and other fruits.
Her two-year-old home-based business in Cheras is known for its character-themed creations and elaborate tiered designs. The results are so convincing you just might find yourself asking: “Wait, that’s all fruit?”
“When I first started the business, people heard ‘fruit cake’ and assumed I meant a butter cake with dried fruit in it. Mine is made from actual pieces of fresh fruit,” Madihah told FMT Lifestyle.
