If you want to surprise your mum (or a special person in your life) this Mother’s Day, why not make a homemade gift, taking inspiration from one of our delicious recipes. 

A homemade cake makes any day better, but especially when there’s an occasion to celebrate. Whether she’d love a slice of classic lemon drizzle cake or some indulgent almond cookie dough truffles, we have a recipe to suit every taste. 

Let your stand mixer do the hard work and create an impressive bake in no time at all to enjoy with all the family. We’ve also suggested some simple but beautiful decorating and gift wrapping ideas to make your bake look extra special! 

That’s a wrap!

Why not make your Mother’s Day bake look really special with one of our gift wrapping ideas? 

Depending on the cake’s toppings, you can wrap it in parchment or wax paper before adding decorative tissue paper and ribbon or string. Or for an even more sustainable option, wrap it in a printed napkin that can be used in the kitchen afterwards. 

You can also make or buy decorative cardboard boxes to display the truffles or madeleines in, or buy a decorative tin as part of the present that can be kept and reused. 

Adding fresh or dried flowers or eucalyptus tucked into the ribbon is also a lovely way to complete the parcel.
