Sweet Treats for Mother's Day
Sweet Treats for Mother's Day
White Chocolate Dream Cake by The Rabbit Hole (Carlito’s Catering)
If you’re looking for something new, try this modern and lighter take on a tres leches cake made of three layers of vanilla chiffon filled with white chocolate custard in between, and topped with white chocolate frosting and shavings, plus Chantilly crème.

Macadamia Sansrival by Gay Vasquez

Strawberry Shortcake by Flour Pot Rum Cakes Manila
Strawberry shortcake lovers must try Chef Rhea Sycip’s naked version—easily one of the best strawberry shortcakes in town. This 9-inch stunner is made with a feathery light sponge cake, Shoga strawberries, inipit icing, and fresh whipped cream.

Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookies by Homemade by Roshan
In my opinion, home baker Roshan Samtani’s take on the classic chocolate chip cookie is still the one to beat. (0917) 833-6286, IG: @homemadebyroshan, Pasig City
Crepes Samurai by Roshan
If your mom is not into cookies, a must-try this mango season is Roshan’s delish version of Crepes Samurai. (0917) 833-6286, IG: @homemadebyroshan, Pasig City
Caramel Cake by Costa Brava
This light and fluffy caramel cake is my pick for the best caramel cake in town. This well-balanced cake is so easy to eat and finish in one sitting. (02) 896-6872, IG: @costabrava2013, Makati City

Citrus pie lovers looking for a not-so-sweet and slightly tart treat can now order a whole key lime pie at any of the Mamou branches (Makati, Ortigas, BGC, Alabang) that are open for delivery. IG: @mymamou

Ginataang Bilo Bilo by The Sexy Chef
While on quarantine, one of my favorite finds through Facebook was this surprisingly good “healthier” version of a ginataang bilo bilo that is plant-based, gluten free, and dairy free. This not-too-sweet guinataan alternative is made with sago, saba, sweet potato, coconut cream, and sugar, plus plain and ube glutinous rice flour balls or bilo-bilo.

Coconut Pie by Wildflour Café + Bakery
Thanks to Wildflour, you no longer need to go to Laguna to buy good coconut or buko pie. I consider this one the best coconut pie in town—by a mile. Made with a lot of real coconut meat and less extenders, this is a calorie-worthy treat that’s definitely fit for a queen. (0917) 852-0950, (0917) 705-3329, IG: @wildflourtogo

Crack Pie by Gino’s Brick Oven Pizza
This is Gino’s take on a popular American pie that is as “addictive as crack” as they say. It’s a comforting buttery concoction that any mother will love. IG: @ginosbrickovenpizza, Makati City and Quezon City
