Own it: Your mother is the greatest!
Thus, it should be obvious to make a Mother’s Day cake to express your love and concern for her.
Which cake, though, ought you to bake?
Here’s a tip: Pick the one that has all of your mother’s favorite flavors, not your own.
And keep in mind that it doesn’t have to be a big deal (though if you want to go that route, we do have a couple many-layered choices). If you put your best effort into everything you make, mom will enjoy it.
The following collection of quick cakes includes some of the tastiest ones: Simple strawberry cake sprinkled with fresh spring berries or a loaf cake flavored with zesty Earl Grey are delicious and visually appealing snacks.
Just remember to include a “Happy Mother’s Day!” in between the oohs and aahs. Never forget to pack a card. Mothers adore cards.
Best Mother’s Day Cake Ideas from All Over The World
1. Carrot Cake
Serve this simple carrot cake for afternoon tea to impress your friends. The cake can be baked, frozen, and then the frosting can be drizzled on the day of use.
Cake with Pistachios and Cardamom
What transpired after carrot cake met carrot halwa, the popular South Asian dairy dessert that takes a long time to make and is incredibly soft to the spoon: Sticky carrot glaze, cardamom, and brown-butter pistachios replaced the raisins, cinnamon, and cream cheese frosting. Their remaining romance was lost to time.

Wrap up
Layer cake or cheesecake are your best bets if you’re searching for something that definitely falls into the dessert category (as opposed to breakfast, though it’s still a special day, so don’t judge if you serve these early).
For inspiration, try lemon blueberry mousse cake, German chocolate cake, Snickers cheesecake, raspberry cheesecake, and tiramisu cake.
The bakeries in Singapore also have a lemon layer cake for mother day with lemon curd. Although they might require a little more time and work, these are still quite doable, and doesn’t your mom deserve the little additional effort?
Want to involve the kids in the baking process? You should try lemon icebox cake, blueberry lemon upside-down cake, banana pudding icebox cake, or cookie cake.
These are quite simple to prepare (although some require chilling for many hours prior to serving), and they’re ideal for involving children in both assembly and decorating. Take some sprinkles or your mother’s most beloved candy, and enjoy yourself!
