Let’s be real for a moment: Moms, would you prefer a beautiful floral bouquet or a dessert shaped like flowers this Mother’s Day? Yeah, we thought so. While flowers are lovely, who can resist chocolates and sweets? With Mother’s Day approaching, it’s the perfect time to subtly suggest ideas for activities, gifts, and — of course — desserts to your partner or kids. Sure, making flower-shaped treats might be beyond their baking skills (but we didn’t exclude them from this list!), so you deserve something sweet on your special day.
Why not propose a family baking session for Mother’s Day? Teaching your child to bake can be a rewarding experience, allowing them to express creativity, learn basic math skills, and understand the value of hard work. Plus, you get to enjoy a delicious treat at the end! Talk about a win-win scenario.
As this holiday falls in spring, these delightful recipes highlight seasonal flavors (think fresh fruits and zesty lemon) and vibrant colors. Whether you’re in search of kid-friendly options or need inspiration for the family gathering, this list has something for everyone — from beginners to skilled bakers.
- No-Bake Blackberry Cheesecake
If you’re hosting the family gathering this Mother’s Day, you’ll want a dessert that’s easy to whip up. Ahead of Thyme’s no-bake blackberry cheesecake is a perfect choice, bursting with spring flavors, and you don’t even need to turn on the oven. Yes, please! - Chocolate Strawberry Bars
