Shilpa Shetty's son Viaan Raj turned six recently. To mark the special occasion, Shilpa and Raj Kundra threw a superhero themed birthday party for son in Mumbai. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya also marked their attendance in what was possibly the cutest birthday bash in town this week. Shilpa Shetty took to Instagram to post an adorable picture of Aishwarya, Aaradhya, herself and son Viaan Raj dressed in his customised batman costume. But that was not the only highlight from the birthday that went Internet go awww. Viaan's special birthday cake is grabbing many eyeballs too. Why you ask? Because the special superhero themed birthday cake was made with no refined sugar, but with healthier and natural coconut sugar instead. Not just the cake, even the lollipops poked into it were devoid of any added sugar, thus making Shilpa Shetty Kundra's "#norefinedsugar birthday party", a huge success.
Shilpa took to Instagram and shared glimpse of the no refined milk chocolate cake presented to her by ace baker Pooja Dhingra.
" OMG!! Pls notice how Children pounce on the lollipops on the cake!! In my quest for wanting to keep up with a #norefinedsugar birthday party!

Shilpa Shetty's No refined sugar birthday cake for son Viaan Raj
What gives coconut sugar an edge over other sweeteners is that it is not refined or chemically altered. It contains no artificial ingredients or synthetic substances. Coconut sugar is fast becoming a favourite with the fitness enthusiasts because of its low fructose content and low glycemic index too. It also contains traces of some minerals and antioxidants which are relatively lesser in refined white sugar
From fitness goals to birthday cake goals, there is just no stopping Shilpa Shetty Kundra it seems. The next time you end up craving for desserts, make sure you go the extra mile to make it healthier than before. As Ms. Shetty Kundra puts it, it's all about 'matter of intention and effort'.
