Raspberries and Cream Cake - Last week's spectacular offering for Mother's Day enrobes fresh raspberries in whipped cream. The middle layer is a light whipped ganache and the cake is finished in whipped cream.
Raspberry Rhapsody - This all chocolate cake features a light chocolate sponge with a chocolate raspberry ganache.
Lemon Bundt Cake - This Lemon Bundt cake is a lemon lover's dream. Lemon flavored cake is soaked in a very lemony sauce that sinks in. The pan is prepared in a way that gives the finished cake a slightly crispy finish.
New York Style Crumbcake is just the thing for breakfast in bed or a Mother's Day brunch. Accompanied by a bowl of strawberries and Mom will get the day started with a smile on her face.
Very Easy Blueberry Coffeecake is one of the easiest and most delicious ways to start any day, but especially Mother's Day.
Coconut Cream Cake is the quintessential Coconut Cream Cake. This was a bakery favorite for coconut lovers.
Greek Orange Yogurt Cake with Orange Syrup also known as Portokalopita is one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. Made with crushed dried phyllo it can be made several days ahead. I wish I could say I was embarrassed that Mike and I ate the entire pan without sharing it. But I gladly admit to it and would do it again! It is simple to make and outstandingly good.
Pina Colada Cake boasts all the flavors of the Tropics. When I was young, I loved Pina Coladas. That was the inspiration for this cake. A single layer of yellow cake is washed with a rum syrup and topped with caramelized pineapple. Nothing more to say!

Great, great selection of cakes, one would have to be perfect for MOM.
We're doing my version of the coconut cake, it's been planned in advance, chocolate was offered, but deferred for later. We can do chocolate next week.
Thank you, Helen.

Hi Helen,
Quick question- I was trying to PIN the recipe for the crumb cake, but it will not allow me to do that. Clicking the P button ( pinterest )only leads me to another page of suggested venues/links for saving) .Any reason for that? I checked your pinterest site, but I can't find it there either..
Thank you for all these great recipes!!..

Hi Dolores - I quit pinning to Pintrest some time ago so it may not be there. They changed their interface and, to be honest, I just don't have the time to post to social media. I have no idea but you can put in a PDF file and save it on your computer if you wish. Simply go to the print button and at the top it has a PDF option. Also, if you decide to print out a recipe and don't want the photos, simply click the 0 and no photos will be printed. You can also delete all the header information if you like. Hope this helps, Sorry for the inconvenience.
