Mothers Day and Easter Ideas

Have a good old-fashioned catch up this Mothers Day

What better way to show your Mum you care this March 18th than enjoying a spot of afternoon tea together.

Typically English, afternoon tea is big for 2007 with many of us shunning the booze in favour of the nation’s favourite brew. Usually taken between 3pm-5pm this special treat begins with a selection of thinly cut sandwiches including cucumber, egg mayonnaise and smoked salmon followed by scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream …and a selection of cakes.

This year, why not make sure your mum gets to enjoy all her favourites with Kate’s cakes individually wrapped slices. These irresistible treats are hand made using only the finest ingredients and include some of the most delicious cakes to tempt and tantalize even the most discerning cake addict…and because they come in single slices you can chop them into bite size pieces and enjoy a taste of each. Choose from:

Bakewell Slice - An all butter pastry layered with raspberry jam and frangipan, topped with toasted almonds. Our jam has been specially sourced for its high fruit content.

Millionaire shortbread – All butter shortbread with a caramel layer, topped with thick milk chocolate

Carrot Loaf Slice – Handmade with freshly grated carrots, juicy vine fruits and a hint of cinnamon

Jammy Muffins – One of the nations favourite treats, you are sure to love this! Kate’s raspberry jam has been sourced for it’s really fruity flavour – to help add that extra touch of luxury.

Chocolate Orange Brownie – A divine brownie with a zesty hint of orange.
Gluten Free and Skinny cake! – So even mums on a diet or with dietary requirements can still be spoilt!
