The plot thickens. Because the Cake will parade down Queen street, not everything can be edible. Some items that could have been made in chocolate need to be adapted. Just like this park bench, which ends up being made out of wood for solidity purposes; however, it will be covered in fondant of course! Yumm!

Join in the fun on Canada Day in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The “Giant Cakewalk Parade” marches down Queen Street at 3 p.m. to Simcoe Park where the celebratory cake will be sliced and served to all who come.
