Mother’s Day is on Sunday, and if you are like me, you haven’t actually bought anything yet! (Sorry Mum if you are reading this!)

If you are wanting to make something with love this Mother’s Day, these lovely little cakes are just the thing. Coconut cakes with raspberries, all dressed up in cream cheese and toasted flaked coconut.

They are the perfect addition to your Mother’s Day afternoon tea, or a cheeky little dessert after lunch.

Good news is, you can make them the day before and keep them in the fridge until about half an hour before serving.

What are you doing to celebrate Mother’s Day?

    That little cake is a beauty. I think I must make it for myself. I’m a mother and I don’t have one any more. 🙂

    Wonder if this quantity would be enough for one larger cake-say 20 cm?
    It sounds lovely.
