Baking for Mother's Day: Loving recipes for unforgettable moments

Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to say thank you - and what could be more loving than a homemade cake or fragrant biscuits?

• Personal & individual 
• You choose the ingredients (also ideal for vegan or sugar-free versions) 
• More sustainable & often cheaper than store-bought products 
• Ideal for gifting in pretty jars, boxes or on tiered trays
