Canada Dessert!

 

The month of June just flew by so fast, eh? Canada’s birthday is happening this Sunday. How are you going to celebrate? It’s likely that you are either invited to a Canada Day bash or hosting a party at your home.  If so, we recommend that you show off your true patriotic side and make a Canadian-themed dessert. 

 

Get your shopping list out and write the following items:

-       Strawberries

-       Raspberries

-       Red Sprinkles

-       White Icing

-       Candy shaped Maple Leaf

-       Maple Leaf shaped cookie cutter

 

Well, there maybe more items to add but it’s a good start, for now.  I’ve gathered a list of delicious, yet patriotic desserts that all will adore. You’ll definitely impress your friends and family (even the Queen, if she got an invite to your Canada Day party).

 

Canada Day CupcakesCanada Day Cupcakes.  Everyone loves a good vanilla cupcake, but I love this recipe because it throws a strawberry slice in the middle. I know what you are thinking – YUMMY! Also, they used white icing and red sprinkles to outline the Canadian flag. Smart. If you can find a candy shaped maple leaf, then it’ll be a perfect touch to the middle of each cupcake. Thanks to Edible Moments, for an awesome recipe.

 

Or if you're craving to make Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing, check out this decadent recipe.

Absolute Bliss! You’ll need a maple leaf cookie cutter to really master this graham cracker base. The white glaze is a lovely layer of vanilla bean cheesecake frosting, topped off with slices of strawberries. Much love to Oh She Glows, for this fast and easy recipe.
