I made a  cake for Mothers Day.

But it was boring.

There was nothing exciting about the outside.

There is nothing excting about the inside.

Its just a plain old cake.

Except that I made it for someone who deserves something more than ‘plain old’.

I came across this quote and thought it would be the perfect addition to this cake.


A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of cake for five people, promptly announces she never did care for cake*.  ~Tenneva Jordan

 *Original quote says ‘pie’.

And I am pretty sure that describes my mom.

Selfless.

Considerate.

Generous.

Loving.

I made a white cake with lemon frosting.

With a rose on top. 

I am sure you could cover the entire top with roses!  But I dont want to bore you with frosting roses.

I do however, want to share with you a few simple, easy, personalized and significant ways for you to celebrate your mom this Mothers Day.

Right after I eat this.

  1. What a great Mother’s Day Cake!!! Oh that saying certainly does describe moms they give, give, give and know that deep down it’s appreciated.

  2. You always make such pretty cakes. And lemon is one of my weaknesses, so this one looks even MORE appealing – if that is possible.

  3. this is beautiful… describes my mom too! even though she deserves all 4 pieces 😉
