Tip

This is a really sweet treat so don't make the slices too big unless you have a real sweet tooth!  If you have difficulty spreading a layer or slicing use a spoon or knife dipped in hot water.

    I used 140g icing sugar instead of 300g as suggested and I felt it’s sweet enough. Made it for my kids international day event representing Canada and this is a great recipe.
