Whether your mum’s an amateur or a real pro in the kitchen, you can consider cooking/baking workshops for her and the whole family. Learn to prepare sweet, fluffy treats, or whip up a savoury storm while spending quality time together!
#2 Bake a cake or make breakfast in bed
Mother’s Day has always been synonymous with cake-baking and breakfast in bed. Be adventurous and try out that recipe for Chocolate Lava Cake or Egg’s Benedict for mummy dearest. Just be sure to clean up in the kitchen afterwards – she might freak out at the sight of all the mess!
