Fruity Cake Salad

Have fun while eating
                     Fruity cake salad is a simple, colourful and a tasty recipe. Just mix a cup of mixed fruits (i used kiwi and strawberry) with cake pieces. My daughter loves this combination. Add a pinch of pepper powder over the salad (optional). I think picky eaters will like it a lot, right?
