It’s a long weekend here in Canada, so Toronto has emptied out. It seems everyone in our neighborhood has embarked on a kayak adventure or returned to a cottage. And we, lacking both, have done neither. Instead, we’re getting reacquainted with the lawn chairs that live in our backyard. And no, I’m not bitter about it because we’ve turned it into a full-on party complete with cake. This Rainbow Sherbet Funfetti Cake to be exact. And this cake is nothing if it’s not a party. This cake is so cheerful it makes me completely forget about my lack of kayak. Throw in a cooler full of beer, a good book, and something cooking low and slow on the BBQ, and my backyard is basically cottage country. Oh, and my neighbors are all gone, so its blissfully, if not eerily, quiet. Staycationing has never looked so good.
