I live in Hawaii where we have Dragonfruit growing wild...this cake is legit! Looks so realistic! Great job! And for comments saying that dragonfruit is bland, it probably because where you live they are sent to you prematurely picked...just like when we get apples here on the island! When they are freshly picked rom the plant...they are so flavorful!
