The cake is easy to eat and beautiful, so both adults and children love it. The bear-shaped cakes are full, with one bite the cream filling blends in, not too sweet, worthyno points but Thien Hong bear cream cake with natural ingredients such as: flour, eggs, milk powder, sugar, butter... all create a delicious, attractive and nutritious product.
