Thanks Christine. I do plan on visiting again. This time I’ll go a bit more North and a bit more East or West

Trust me the rest of Canada is nothing like Windsor. You should try us out again sometime, it’s pretty awesome here.

Canadian Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October. We refer to the one in November as “Yanksgiving”!

Yeah, Windsor is more like Detroit than like any part of Canada! You should check us out again – I promise the rest of it is super-pretty! And to answer your question on Tastespotting, yes we do have Thanksgiving, but it’s approximately 6 weeks earlier to yours, due both to a different historical reason for having it and out shorter growing season (it’s loooong past harvest time here now!!).

Your cupcakes look super-yummy though! I live in Ottawa, which has tons of maple syrup for sale by local producers, so I’ll definitely try whipping up a batch!

We do have Thanksgiving in Canada, but ours is held in October, because our havest is earlier (as there is usually snow on the ground this late in the year). I have never made Maple cupcakes before, but I sure am tempted!

PS – I am from Western Canada, and I can confirm that out here….it is really, nice, clean and pretty . Think of Windsor as Canada’s Detriot.

You are right, Windsor is not a really good representation of Canada. And to the question on Tastespotting: Yes! Canadians do celebrate Thanksgiving, but on the second Monday of October, and it is just about giving thanks and celebrating harvest. I love the cupcakes!! Makes me miss Canadian Maple Syrup (Canadian living in the UK) Is the recipe for the frosting?

Yeah… probably should not have gone to Windsor. Try the wineries at Niagara on the Lake next time?
And Canada does indeed have thanksgiving! But in early October. Being more northward, our harvest ends earlier than yours!

You should visit more of Canada – there are really some beautiful, beautiful spots! Our Thanksgiving was back in October, these would have been perfect for that!
