Giant panda cub – Yuan Zai – celebrated her first birthday Sunday with a giant fruit cake Sunday.

The 34-kilogram cub was also showed several bamboo branches decorated with signs reading different professions — a unique take on the common practice of a one-year-old child choosing from different items symbolizing various jobs.

Yuan Zai’s picks showed a broad range of interests for  the cub — painter, engineer, flight attendant and teacher.

She was then treated to a giant icy cake made of natural ingredients, including beets, apples, pineapples and carrots.

Yuan Zai was born after four years of artificial insemination attempts using sperm from the only other two giant pandas at the zoo,  Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan.
