I'm making a birthday cake for my friend and I wanted to put strawberries, peaches and mangoes on it. Should I use canned fruit or fresh fruit? I'm scared the fresh strawberries won't be as sweet.

Fresh fruit is a lot healthier for you. Canned fruit has a lot of sugar in it and your adding more sugar to the cake if you keep the liquid in from the canned fruit.

Well both are equally good and can do justice to your cake. It's more on your final preparation steps. If you're planning to use fresh fruits, you can always try them out first to make sure you got the sweetness that you desired before you buy them from the stall, and when the day comes, just make sure the cakes ready and frosted and sliced the fruits minutes before u serve them to get the freshness factor going on...Canned fruits are always a last-resort. But you can get confused especially with their brands that can affect the taste of fruits inside.

Fresh is better. So are those dried fruits you get in packets.
Not canned. They are tasteless and watery. Except for pineapples and may be strawberries too. Drain well.
As for sweetness, try them out. Are you planning to put them on the cake too? Deco? Fresh is always good. Keep it at home on the shelf for a day if they are not ripe.
If you chose nice red ones, they are good and ripe too.
Would be good to hear how it worked.

If you use canned it usually will come in a light syrup making it sweeter. With fresh fruit it is generally a good choice if it is ripe (almost over ripe). With fresh fruit coat it in a light syrup or icing sugar. Canned and fresh are both good choices. ( I prefer fresh for inside the cake and canned as a topping because canned doesn't need any more preparing ). For another choice dip use fresh but thinly slice them and coat them in bakers chocolate.

Fresh is better -- the syrup from canned fruit could make the cake too soggy.
Frozen works quite well too -- thaw it out overnight in the fridge.

Fresh fruit is by far healthier . . . but maybe on a cake that is not your main concern!! You could always try sweeter fruits like fresh raspberries or bananas.

canned fruit is probably gonna be a better choice because it won't go bad as fast and will look better, as for taste the canned will probably be sweeter than the fresh so you might have to adjust your sugar amount.
