While flowers and cards are always appreciated, I like to get a little more creative with my Mother’s Day gift giving. And what better way to show your mother how much she means to you than with something handmade? I love to make my mum a homemade afternoon tea baking lots of delicious treats to wash down with a good cuppa! Its simple but my mum is a busy bee and to get five minuets to sit down to indulge in tea and cake is a luxury for her! I thought i would share with you some of the cupcakes i have baked for her previously to give you a few ideas on what can be created!
