Serena's Muskoka Woods cake creation

Serena just spent a fun-filled week at Muskoka Woods Camp and had a blast! I am so glad she had wonderful weather and had a terrific week with her camp friends.

Serena participated in the cake decorating specialty this summer and made the most beautiful cake. I am so proud of her - it is dainty just as Serena is. It takes a lot of work to make fondant and create beautiful flowers. Lots of patience is required and Serena did an amazing job.

Serena is often found in the kitchen baking and makes delicious cookies... then her brothers come around and eat them all!!!

Strawberry Shortcake

Every Canada Day, I make a Strawberry Shortcake. It is not the only time I make this cake as it is my husband's favourite. I remember once winning a baking contest at London Business School after entering with this cake. It is light and yet so satisfying!

I used to bake a simple white cake and cover with whip cream and strawberries. Now I make Ricardo's recipe for this cake and it is the ultimate!

Happy Birthday Canada!
