Mother’s Day will definitely be different this year, with the COVID-19 crisis bringing all social activities to a halt. But whether you’re able to celebrate the day with your mom in person or not, you can still honor her with a beautiful cake or dessert.

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
A consistent crowd favorite, this sweet and crispy sansrival is studded with macadamia nuts on top in lieu of the more traditional kasuy or cashew nuts. (0917) 301-0615, FB: GayVasquezSansrival, Pasig City and Quezon City
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. (0917) 789-2352, IG: @flourpotmanila, Silang, Cavite (with delivery to Metro Manila)
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
Key Lime Pie by Mamou
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
Ube Ensaymada by Baby Pat’s
Not just for ube lovers, this is my top pick for the top ube ensaymada, best eaten fresh on the day they are baked. (0917) 790-1127, (0933) 318-9449 Viber, IG: @mybabypat, Santa Rosa, Laguna (with delivery to Metro Manila)

Banana Cream Pie or Ensaymada Ice Cream by Fog City Creamery
Fog City Creamery is churning a limited selection of top-notch artisanal ice cream flavors in time for Mother’s Day.

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
Cream Cheese Leche Flan by Ginger Teehankee
This is the creamiest leche flan that tastes even better when eaten straight from the freezer. It’s the perfect ending to any Mother’s Day celebration. (0917) 539-8887, San Juan City
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
