The SPOT.ph Guide to Mother's Day Desserts

Sainte Anne Cakes: Banana Bliss Cupcakes

We all know Sainte Anne Cakes Manila bakes one of the best strawberry shortcakes, but we’re not going to lie, the Banana Bliss Cupcakes launched last Christmas also still has us in a chokehold. And a solution for wanting both? Sainte Anne Cakes merges the two desserts with the Mother’s Day-special Banaberry Shortcake.

This new shortcake has layers of sponge cake with huge chunks of strawberries and bananas in the center, and all covered in light and sweet cream. It’s topped with more strawberries and banana (torched for some crunchy caramel action), plus dainty edible daisies.

How to order: Sainte Anne Cakes Manila's Banaberry Shortcake costs P3,700. You can place an order by filling up Sainte Anne Cakes Manila's order form.

Leonisa's Kitchen: Susan's Berry Pistachio Cake, Biscoff Banana Cream Puff, and Strawberry Earl Grey Cream Puff

Leonisa's Kitchen has come up with limited-edition desserts for Mother's Day. For starters, there's the Sugar Free Belgian Chocolate Kataifi Cake. In it layers of pistachio cream, sugarfree Belgian milk chocolate  studded with pistachios, chocolate sponge, Belgian dark chocolate ganache, Belgian dark chocolate mousse, and crisp-crackly pistachio kataifi—talk about a treat for fans of the trending Dubai Chocolate!

Alongside the cake is the Mother's Day cream puffs set, which comes with two flavors in the box: the Biscoff Banana Cream Puff, which is filled with banana chunks, Biscoff cookie butter, and vanilla cream, then dipped in chocolate caramel and Biscoff cookie bits; and the Strawberry Earl Grey Cream Puffs, filled with vanilla cream, chocolate-earl grey cream, and strawberry chunks. The former is essentially banoffee pie in cream puff form; the latter has a surprisingly mild taste that makes it the perfect companion to coffee or tea.

How to order: Leonisa's Kitchen's Susan's Berry Pistachio Cake costs P2,750, Biscoff Banan Cream Puff costs P660/half dozen or P840/box of nine, and Strawberry Earl Grey Cream Puff costs P660/half dozen or P840/box of nine. You can place an order by messaging Leonisa's Kitchen's Instagram.

The Flour Pot Manila: Infinite Roses

Flour Pot Manila's Mother's Day-special cake has "it's too pretty to eat" written all over it—but even so, this rustic ring cake has one of the most unique and intriguing flavor combinations. This limited edition cake has plush layers of cake infused with TWG Bain de Roses Tea; dollops of lychee custard in between; and tonka white chocolate buttercream. Its crowning glory? Juicy slices of strawberries and Moroccan roses. 

How to order: The Flour Pot Manila's Infinite Roses costs P3,950. You can place an order by messaging The Flour Pot's Facebook page.

Mary Grace Cafe: Tres Leches

Just like clockwork, Mary Grace Cafe is honoring its Mother's Day traditions—the one that dates back to 2017—by bringing back the Tres Leches cake on the menu. This Mother's Day-special features a light vanilla sponge cake, a caramel filling in between, and floral-citrusy Earl Grey-infused milk sauce you'll pour over the cake.

Conti's Bakeshop & Restaurant: Berry Blossom Pistachio Crunch Cake

Remember Conti's Pistachio Crunch cake? Yes, the same cake inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate—that cake that was unavailable for some time because everyone wanted a slice, but it was always out of stock. Well, if you were able to try the original version and liked it, there's a new version made especially for Mother's Day, one that sports blushing pink hues. The Berry Blossom Pistachio Crunch is Conti's Mother's Day special cake this year. This is the same Pistachio Crunch, just elevated with strawberry sauce, fresh strawberries, and dried edible rose petals.

How to order: Conti's Bakeshop & Restaurant's Berry Blossom Pistachio Crunch is priced at P1,445 (just P500 more than the regular Pistachio Crunch). This is available for in-store purchases, pick-up, or delivery via Conti's website. See list of Conti's branches.
