There’s only one thing Mams love more than tea.

And that’s something delicious to dunk in it.

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, March 27th and whether you’re headed home to catch up with your own mum or you’re spending the day with the mama in your life, make sure you have something suitably sensational to bust out once the kettle’s on.

Cork’s brilliant bakers have been concocting some utterly mouthwatering treats, from pretty macarons to giant cookies, cake pops to coffee-flavoured tiramichoux buns.

Here are five to order now:

1. MACARONS FOR MUM

There are few sweet treats as elegant as a perfectly-crafted macaron. It doesn’t get more glam than Boom Bakes’ handmade salted caramel macarons, decorated with pressed edible flowers.

They also do unique wedding and occasion cakes, cupcakes, chocolate truffle biscuits and baked treats. DM to order.
