Introduction
- For years, the Thomas Lipton company gave their Good Humor employees a special ice cream cake for Mother's Day. If you are not lucky enough to have an employer who furnishes you with your Mother's Day dessert, you'll need to concoct your own Mother's Day cake. Let your creativity shine as you personalize a cake that shows how much you love your mom.
Step 1: What You'll Need for a Mother's Day Cake
- A baked cake of your choice, ready for decorating
- Frosting, and food coloring, if desired
- Decorations, which could include:
- Candies
- Edible flowers
- Fondant
- Sprinkles
- Drageés
- Fresh fruit
Step 2: Mother's Day Cake Tips
- Use rolled fondant to make beautiful decorations simply.
- Having all ingredients at room temperature before you begin to cook helps everything to mix together smoothly.
