My name is Chu Thi Mai (23 years old), living in Hanoi. I work as a freelancer and do housework in the family. Today is March 3, I stay at home and prepare to make floating cakes to worship my family. This is the first time I try to mold the five-color floating cake.

To save time, I ordered batter online. There are many places selling flour, I just need to walk around social networks for a while to find a shop 800 meters from home.

I put the ingredients on the dishes. Five-color powder is made from natural ingredients: mint leaves, gac intestines, cocoa, matcha … do not contain color products, so I am quite reassured. Baking ingredients are not too expensive, I only spend 150,000 VND for a full part like this.

My son is going to school. Husband goes to work. Today I am at home baking alone. I invited my neighbor’s sister to cook the cake. We happily told each other memories of our eager childhoods to cook cakes with our parents on real Korean New Year.

I lived away from my family since I was young, so on holidays, Tet like this, I miss my parents very much.

Every year I do not make cakes because I see few people and do not want to provoke. But this year my son is 2 years old, he loves floating cakes, especially the colorful five-color cake. In the afternoon of my son, I want to make cakes for him to eat on this day to give the family more atmosphere.

After finishing the cake, I prepare to cook the water to boil.

Wait for the water to boil, I drop each cake in and use the chopsticks to gently stir the water to make the cake evenly cooked.

I continue to boil it so that the cake is cooked evenly, just fine to avoid the cake being crushed and the sugar inside has not melted yet.

When the cake floats, I wait for another 30 seconds, and when it’s just cooked, I take it out.

Here are my results. I have prepared plates of cute cats, avocados … for boys to enjoy more.

Wait for the cake to cool down, I sprinkle more sesame on the surface for decoration.

I put the cake on the altar to worship the family. Add a week of incense, I sincerely pray. I hope that my son will eat well, grow up quickly, and my wife and I work smoothly, and the family is healthy and safe.

I also do not forget to take pictures with colorful cake plates to send to my parents in my hometown and keep as souvenirs. This afternoon, when he picked up his son from school, he would be very happy because he had five-color cakes to eat. Thinking of the eager faces of my son and husband, I felt extremely happy.
