So you’ve got the flowers, gifts, reservations made, and the perfect day planned out for mummy dearest; but still, nothing completes the celebration more than a fabulous cake for the family to enjoy.
But if you’ve forgotten that Mother’s Day is this weekend (its 12 May, you bad bad child), scoring an exquisite cake can be quite the challenge. But thankfully, we’ve done the legwork and discovered a handful of bakeries that serve up cakes designed to claim the spotlight… and exceed expectations. Blessings, indeed.
Seriously impressive cakes suitable for Mother’s Day coming your way in 3, 2…

For the mom that enjoys a good wine night
If she enjoys a nightcap every now and then, this store whips us their own versions of a mean cocktail. Also, this cake won’t break the bank, a fact only sweetened by the bakery’s wide range of booze-infused desserts. Lastly, drink eat responsibly.
