Hello Dear Friends,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend, enjoying the beautiful weather. We had some very hot days for May here in Toronto area, but today is much cooler. However tomorrow will be hot again. Oh well, Canadian weather is crazy, lol.
Anyway, we had a lot of celebrations, starting with my Birthday on May 16th, which some of you may know from my previous post. Then my older daughter's BD on May 19th therefore I had to hurry and make this delicious cake.
Luckily, her little party wasn't until Saturday the 22nd, giving enough time. In addition, it is a long weekend here, so HAPPY VICTORIA DAY to all my CANADIAN friends 🍁😍🍁
Now I am just relaxing, with cup of coffee and piece of cake writing this post 🎂☕😍

Just the other day I was trying to explain to my Cambodian family the miracle of maple syrup. The closest thing in their reality is liquid palm sugar fresh from the farm, which is actually very similar. I can't even imagine how delicious a cake made with this liquid gold would be. Awesome work once again chef!

Oh yes! The coconut flower nectar is amazing! But here, even more expensive than maple syrup. I can get good deal in Walmart for 1l for $14 CAD. But I don't even know where to buy Coconut nectar except on Amazon for $16 for 355ml. But I wish I get it cheaper, because I love it! It is one of the healthiest natural sweeteners too. Amway, thank you Justin for visiting 🧡🙏🧡
