Mango Mousse Rose Cake- Happy Mothers Day!

Today is Mothers’ Day- a day celebrated by many countries all over the world to recognise and honor Mothers.  However, it is not the only day that I’m thankful for this precious person God has place in my life.

                                             My Mum is Self Sacrificial

                                             She believes in giving more than receiving

My Mum is a Blesser,

She uses her talents to bless the people around her

My Mum is Strong

She uses her love for the family to do things for us

My Mum is organized

She cleans up the house better than what you see at a showroom flat

Mum,

 

On the day that I was born,

Thank you for enduring the hardship & labor pain

 

When I was growing up,

Thank you for the times where you took care of me,

Making sure you fed and clothe me with the best

 

When I was disobedient

Thank you for lecturing me & Straightening my paths

Though you may be the best critic,

you are also one of my strongest supporter

 

When I have a child of my own,

there’s no one or actions I would emulate except that of yours

Thank you for loving me when I least deserved it

You’re the one who can take the place of all others

But whose place no one else can take

 

Happy Mothers’ Day! I Love you!! 

 

 

When I thought of what to bake for Mum. It came instantly like one, two, three. Mum eats Mangoes everyday and I think she eats 2 a day? So this cake is inspired by her favourite fruit.

 

I decided to go with a Mango Rose design for the top. It can be rather tedious slicing the mangoes up but it was well worth the efforts.
