There’s no denying Mom deserves a sweet treat on her special day—as well as a special cocktail and brunch and a made-with-love dinner (hint, hint)—but how do you choose when there are so many delicious recipes to pick from? We’ve narrowed it down to some of our favorites, including this pretty and impressive alternative to cake: pavlova. It's deceptively simple to make. Basic meringue is flavored with tangy buttermilk, sweet honey and fragrant vanilla before it’s baked. Once the meringue cools it’s dressed up with a little whipped cream and fresh fruit for a dessert that Mom is sure to love.

You could have fooled us! This impressive dessert is deceptively simple! What exactly is a strawberry fool? Whipped cream dressed up with macerated strawberries — Sunny likes to serve her version with cinnamon graham crackers to use as a scoop.

Put this beautiful, no-bake cheesecake out at your next soiree and people might just think you're a professional baker! We used sliced strawberries and mandarin oranges to create the flower on top, but you can use other fruit to create your own design. Just make sure to avoid pineapple, kiwi, papaya, mango and guava, which all contain an enzyme that will prevent the gelatin from setting properly.

Because cupcakes are way more creative than a flower bouquet! Show Mom how much you care by baking a dozen daisy-topped treats. Use kitchen shears to slice marshmallows into petal shapes and place yellow nonpareils as each flower’s center.
