There’s no one quite like Mum. She’s your cheerleader, comfort zone, and sometimes your unofficial therapist — all rolled into one. So when Mother’s Day rolls around, it’s only right to show her some love… in the most delicious way possible. Whether you’re planning a grand gesture or a cosy celebration at home, a loving Mother’s Day cake is always a beautiful way to say “thank you.”
This year, skip the generic gift sets and surprise her with something homemade (with a little help from Mama Mia, of course!). From layered beauties to cute mini jars, we’re bringing you Mother’s Day cake ideas that are equal parts sentimental and sweet. And no, you don’t have to be a pro baker. These are simple, trendy DIY treats using Mama Mia’s bestselling ice creams, cheesecake jars, and more.
Let’s Make a Cake Mum Will Never Forget
You don’t need to be a pro to make a cake that melts Mum’s heart. It’s all about layering love, effort, and of course — flavour. Whether it’s a full-sized Happy Mother’s Day cake or a mini dessert jar, the best gifts come from the heart.
Mini Bento Cakes with a Personal Touch
Let’s start small — but make it cute. Mini cakes are all the rage right now, and they’re perfect if you want to keep things simple yet Instagram-worthy. Use a soft sponge base and add a layer of Mama Mia’s Nutella or Strawberry Cheesecake Jar between two cake rounds.
Frost it with pastel buttercream and add a Mother’s Day cake topper — a handwritten note, edible flowers, or even a mini Polaroid. Top it off with gold dust or sprinkles for that extra sparkle.
These also make a thoughtful mom to be cake for baby showers or celebrating first-time mamas!
Cheesecake Jars That Say ‘I Love You’
Not big on baking? No problem. Just grab our Blueberry Baked Cheesecake Jar or Toffee Pecan Cheesecake Jar and dress it up in a pretty dessert glass or mason jar. Add a biscuit crumble base, scoop in the cheesecake filling, and top with whipped cream, berries, or edible rose petals.
It’s one of the easiest yet most elegant Mother’s Day desserts around — and she’ll never guess you didn’t make it from scratch.
Ice Cream Cake Layers for a Cool Mum
For the mum who loves a chilled dessert, build a no-bake layered ice cream cake using Mama Mia’s Dutch Chocolate and Filter Coffee Guilt Free Ice Cream. Simply layer softened scoops into a cake tin lined with cling film, add crushed biscuits or brownie bits in between, and freeze until set.
Decorate the top with dark chocolate shards, nuts, or even fresh flowers for a centrepiece-worthy Mother’s Day cake. Perfect for Kolkata’s warm weather and even better when served with chilled coffee.
Cake Decorating Tips for the Win
Let’s be honest — half the fun of gifting a cake is in how pretty it looks. So even if you’ve gone store-bought with the base, here are a few cake decorating tips to make your masterpiece look handcrafted:
- Use a piping bag or ziplock bag to add fun borders or floral rosettes.
- Add fresh seasonal fruit like strawberries, blueberries or mango slices for a pop of colour.
- Use a dusting of icing sugar or cocoa for a minimalist aesthetic.
- Add a hand-lettered Mother’s Day cake topper that she can keep as a memory.
Mother’s Day Dessert Ideas for the Whole Family
If you’re planning a lunch or dinner spread, sweeten the table with more than one treat. Think bite-sized Mother’s Day desserts using Mama Mia’s products like:
- Mini cheesecake cups with biscuit crumble bases
- Scoops of ice cream served in chocolate shells
- A dessert platter with slices of pastry cake, macarons, and fresh fruit
These Mother’s Day dessert ideas are ideal for sharing and look gorgeous on a festive table. Bonus points if you style them with flowers or pastel serveware!
