Baking for the special lady in your life instantly shows just how much you appreciate her. Take time out of your busy day to make something homemade to drop off or share together.

Coconut Cream Pie

For the ultimate and delicious Mother’s Day treat, try Coconut Cream Pie. An easy old-fashioned Coconut Cream Pie consists of a flakey, buttery pie crust that is baked and filled with a thick and creamy coconut filling and delectable whipped cream. Perfect for coconut lovers, mum will love this pie and it will make sharing that much more special.

Red Velvet Brownies

Red, fudgy and delicious, a batch of freshly made Red Velvet Brownies combine the flavours of vanilla and chocolate in chewy and gooey brownies with a cream cheese swirl. Loosely based on the classic red velvet cake recipe but made into a gooey brownie, these show stoppers will present perfectly with a dollop of cream or vanilla ice cream.

Strawberry Cheesecake

Strawberry cheesecake is sweet and tart and unmatched to other cakes and making one is easier than you might think. They generally taste tart, sweet, creamy, and tangy all in one with the same sweet tanginess with fresh strawberry notes. Try this Strawberry Cheesecake as a red hot winner for mum this year.

French Macarons

French macarons are sweet and perfect for just about any events. Their bite-sized nature, bright colours and tempting textures will make them super hard for mum to resist. Macarons are a dessert that can easily go with beverages such as coffee, tea, and champagne, depending on the time of day. With coffee, it is best to eat macaron flavours such as vanilla and pistachio. Classic flavours like chocolate and hazelnut are most devoured with tea. Choose your favourite!

Carrot Cake

Bursting with vitamins yet also slathered with a dairy-rich cream cheese frosting, carrot cake is essentially the world’s most delicious health food. It is also one of the best special occasion cakes you can make to please just about anyone. It’s easier to make than many other layer cakes, making it ideal for beginners. A good Carrot Cake and cup of tea will see you and mum chatting for hours and enjoying her special day. 

Simple Scones

You can’t go past a great batch of Scones topped with jam, whipped fresh cream and melted butter. Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch or an after-dinner treat, you can enjoy as little or as many as you like. Simple to make with almost blunder-free recipes aplenty, get the kids involved in some home made creations and share across generations of ladies in your family on Mother’s Day.
