Mother’s Day, a celebration to honor the moms, grandmas, aunts and loved ones who raised us to be who we are today, is coming on May 12, 2024. So, grab a spatula and get into the kitchen with your stash of flour, sugar and spices to whip up something sweet for the most important guest of all time. If you’re hosting Mother’s Day brunch or dinner, you’ll want to have something for dessert.
Whether you have five minutes or five hours, we have plenty of recipes that will make her feel the love on her special day. Is your mom a chocolate lover? Check. Or maybe she’s more of a lemon dessert person—we have those too, plus seasonal treats using spring fruits like rhubarb and strawberries. Here, 65 Mother’s Day desserts she’s bound to adore, from cake to pie to cookies. (A bouquet of flowers might help drive the message home even more...just saying.)
