Cherry Blossoms in Toronto

Ah, cherry blossoms. One of my absolute favorite things about spring. I only wish they were not so short-lived. On Friday, we drove out to Exhibition Place in Toronto to take in all of the beautiful cherry blossoms. All of the crowds go to High Park, but thanks to a tip on Twitter, I went to a lesser known spot. I only saw two other people there to take pictures during the entire time I was there and this allowed me to get front row seats on any tree I wanted. No crowds makes a happy photographer and Wendy.

The Canadian flag in the background was a happy little accident!

The CNE's 2014 Flower Show

Every year in Toronto, there is an end of summer fair. You can call it the Ex or the CNE, both are acceptable. The Ex is just short for Canadian National Exhibition. They also host an annual flower and garden show. I don't have a green thumb, so I live vicariously through these gardeners! If you would like to see other pictures from my day at the Ex, just mosey on over to my other blog to read the post.

Canada's Baking and Sweets Show

This past weekend was the Baking and Sweets Show here. There is also an annual one in the US based in Chicago. This is my second year going and it's a fun day full of sweets! Each year, they have bakers and chefs that people know from channels like Food Network and Cooking Channel. The day I went, Buddy Valastro was scheduled. The Cake Boss, himself! How exciting!

The theme this year was Alice in Wonderland! I thought I would show a few of my favorite cakes from their cake competition. These bakers and designers are amazing. If I tried fondant, I'm sure it would look like the Play-Doh masterpiece of a three year old!

Adventures at Toronto's Centre Island
