There are many things you can do for Mothers Day, most of them involve going to a store and buying something – flowers, candy, perfume, jewelry. We would like to suggest making something instead. Sure, you will have to buy some ingredients but the lions share of the task is ‘doing’ and that shows more love than anything because what it costs is time and that is our most precious commodity.
So here is a wonderfully delicious dessert in all the colors of Spring (well, some of them 🙂
