Strawberry and Cream Cake (Happy Canada Day!)

Happy Canada Day!

Well, not quite yet, a day early, I know 😁

Raise your hands if you get as excited as me when it comes to (celebrating) your country’s birthday 😉

Tomorrow supposedly tons of fun activities will be happening in town, just like always whenever Canada Day is here, however this will be the first it’s going to rain, boo-hoo. Yeah, I don’t remember ever attending the parade in the rain, maybe a little rain before or after the parade, but the forecast has been rain, rain, and raiiiiiinnn, like for the whole day. It rained yesterday, it will rain today, tomorrow, and the upcoming week as well. Yikes!

Here is crossing fingers, tomorrow the rain won’t come somehow 😅

For now, let’s have a slice of this simple strawberry and cream cake that I decorated as Canada flag since tomorrow is Canada Day 🇨🇦🎆🎉😍

I made the whipped cream with coconut, if you are not into coconut, there are other alternatives, soy based, nut based, tofu based, etc.
