Mother’s Day Desserts

How do you choose the perfect Mother’s Day dessert? You need to know what mom loves, of course, but I think you also need something beautiful and sophisticated. For me, something with meringue is perfect, but every mom loves something a little different. I’ve put together a list that hits on all kinds of flavor profiles with the beauty and sophistication moms deserve. Extras subscribers get TWO exclusive recipes below.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Need some gift ideas for the mother figures in your life? If they love to bake, here are some ideas. (Links below are affiliate links)

  • A kit for making her own vanilla! Vanilla beans, a glass bottle, and vodka. Don’t forget to send a link to my recipe or make a cute recipe card.

  • A pretty Bundt pan, a cake stand, or even a blow torch! Check out all the tools I recommend for cake baking and pair it with a copy of Zoë Bakes Cakes and a linen apron.

  • Does she prefer to cook instead of bake? How about everything she needs to make excellent homemade pizza?

  • Does your mom have a box full of the family's favorite recipes that can be turned into a cookbook? Read how you can create that with or for her.

  • A subscription to my Substack Extras newsletter! Paid subscribers get exclusive recipes, travel guides, access to the whole archive, and more.

A Mother’s Day Episode of Taste Buds

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of filming an episode of Taste Buds with my friend Stephanie Hansen of Stephanie’s Dish! We made mini pavlovas, roasted rhubarb, and lemon curd to celebrate Mother’s Day. You can watch it on YouTube next Thursday, May 9, and in the Twin Cities, it will air on Fox 9 on Sunday, May 12 at 10:30 a.m. In the meantime, catch up on all things Taste Buds by watching previous episodes:
