Mother's Day Treats

I always think a lovely gesture for Mother's Day is to make something homemade for my mum. My mum has everything she needs and never wants for anything so she's not an easy person to buy for. So my solution is to make her something special as she always appreciates the time and effort that's gone into something handmade. So for this Mother's Day think about giving a gift of homemade jam, a tin of biscuits or a cellophane wrapped  basket of treats. Here are a few ideas to inspire!

 

 

Mother's Day Baking

With 'Mother's Day' only a couple of days away my thoughts have turned to having my mother and mother-in-law for afternoon tea. I have been flicking through a few recipe books looking for some inspiration on some treats to bake. I will dust off the silver, my grandmother's cut crystal vases and my pink floral Royal Doulton tea set and will serve them up afternoon tea with a bit of style! I love these cakes with their lashings of vanilla frosting and the cute paper bunting decoration. This is a bit of novel idea for me so I am sure both of the mums will be impressed! Along with a batch of scones, some dainty sandwiches and fresh flowers I am sure a lovely afternoon will be had by all!
