Happy Canada Day!


Wishing our neighbours to the north a great Canada Day!  Happy Birthday Canada!!!!



This looks awesome.

I do wish I had a good excuse to make this......

I did make these though....I wish I had little candy maple leaves for the white.  They don't sell them here.


An Ookpik is a stuffed toy owl-like critter made by the First Nations Inuit and sold as souvenirs.  Ukpik means 'snowy owl' in the Inuktitut language.  I just thought this was the cutest cartoon.  (by the way if you want a chuckle, do check out the Savage Chickens site, HERE).

  1. Sweet post Jojo :) I didn't know it was Canada Day! Is that like 4th July? (Sorry for my ignorance!)

    How have you been? :) Thank you for your advice on my blog!

  4. Lovely post for all our friends across our Northern border.

    The cake does look tempting - what if you made one for the 4th and instead of the red maple leaf put in a big, blue sprinkles Star ?

  6. Hi Nikki! Yes, Canada Day is their country's birthday like our July 4th. :)

    Kathy I would too but I just cannot have something like that in my house with just me. I would make it for a party but not just to have! lol The strawberry cake would probably be the lesser of the two evils though.

    Monica if you do, blog it.
