Beyond the Recipe Card - Mother's Day Inspiration

Mother's Day Baking Inspiration

Mother's Day is less than a month away, so it's time to start thinking about what to give Mom! Personally, I think gifts you make yourself are the best, and they're always my mom's favorites too. So why not do a little labor of love this year and bake your mom something special for Mother's Day? To go beyond the recipe card, I've shared some of my mom's favorite desserts to give you ideas, but you can't go wrong with any homemade dessert for Mom!

Cinnamon Crumb Cake

Cinnamon and brown sugar are staple baking ingredients in my household, and a cinnamon crumb cake is the perfect combination of them! It's super easy to make, and the result is a light, buttery cake that crumbles in the most delicious way. If

your mom likes lighter, not-too-sweet desserts, this is the way to go.

Cake Balls

Got a little more time on your hands to bake? Cake balls are a yummy option. They're super customizable, so you can make them with your mom's favorite kind of cake, favorite frosting, and favorite colors (for the candy melts). You can also turn them into cake pops if you have some lollipop sticks!

Caramel Brownies

A personal favorite for my mom, a chocolate-lover, is caramel brownies. Rich, fudgy brownies with a gooey caramel center? Sign us up! They're surprisingly easy to make and will leave everyone wanting more. If your mom also is a big fan of chocolate, this is a great way to show her some love on Mother's Day!
