B-Roll: Mei Xiang Enjoys Bei Bei's Frozen cake While He Sleeps in His Den
Description:
Bei Bei and Mei Xiang, Bao Bao (turning 3 Aug. 23) and Tian Tian (turning 19 Aug. 27) also received tiered birthday cakes made by our nutrition department. The tiers were made of frozen diluted juice and were dyed various colors using beet juice, carrot juice, apple juice and food dye. The cakes were decorated with flower appliques carved from apples, pears, cooked sweet potatoes, leaf-eater biscuits and arrow bamboo-some of the pandas' favorite foods. In lieu of icing, a large number "1" carved from frozen diluted apple juice sat atop Bei Bei's cake; keepers also topped the cake with some honey for a special treat. Although Bei Bei chose to sleep inside, it was clear that Mei Xiang enjoyed the refreshing treat!
