This quick & easy summer dessert was made to devour at your next BBQ and even better, all decked out in red + white, it’s the perfect addition to your Canada Day celebrations!
CANADA turns 150 years old this year and you better believe we’ll be celebrating!
Fun in the sun, family + friends, great food and a few fireworks to top it all off…
Canada Day is always one of my very favourites of the year!
Now, typically we Canucks tend to be a modest bunch, but on Canada Day we can’t help but shout from the rooftops how incredibly amazing this country is that we call home.
There’s nothing I love more than seeing our little town clad in maple leaves and all things red + white…
And in keeping with that proud red + white theme, at our own little backyard celebration, I’ll be serving up these quick & simple cake skewers…
Obviously, with all the celebrating to be had, I’ll be keeping it simple with my favourite boxed cake, a few strawberries and some delish whipped topping (I used Cool Whip).
After cutting my strawberries and cake into bite-sized pieces, I simply pushed them onto some wooden skewers, alternating each piece.
Then, I dropped a few dollops of whipped topping on top and that’s it friends – a perfectly simple dessert perfect for our Canada Day celebrations!
Now, with the entire country celebrating BIG with Canada’s 150th, you know the Canadian bloggers would be jumping right in there too – we’ve come together to bring you all sorts of Canadian inspiration to help you celebrate this big milestone in proud, Canadian style! Find all sorts of amazing ideas below my friends:
Wishing you an amazing CANADA DAY my friends!
