Grace’s beloved treats for the table:

Scones
I love to eat. It is my favourite, and if there is one stroke of genius
to surpass them all, it’s that one year when I taught my brood how
to make scones. When we were learning, we got to spend time
together and I was able to guide them and answer any questions
they had. Lo and behold, the next Mother’s Day I had freshly baked
scones for breakfast!

Carrot cake
My favourite is carrot cake. It’s easy to make, stays nice and moist
in the oven and is even better after a day or two, when the flavours
have had a chance to mingle. If you bake it in a Bundt tin, it is
both decadent and easy to ice, and everyone can get creative with
sprinkles. It can also be made a couple of days ahead of time and
can even be frozen.

In conclusion, remember that Mother’s Day is all about taking the
time to openly cherish the memories you have with your mom and
Scones work beautifully as a breakfast or an afternoon tea treat, about making the time to create new ones, whether you are young

Chocolate mousse is lovely, light and easy to make ahead of time (up
to two days ahead), making it easy for busy hubbies. Make it over
the weekend and take it out of the fridge, and you have decadent,
no-mess chocolate mousse. For teenagers, there’s the opportunity
