<p>Sunday, May 9 is Mother’s Day. Do you know where you’re buying this weekend’s cake for the most important woman in your life—the one who gave birth to you, sent you to school, tolerated your drummer phase and financed your sneaker collection? </p><p>She will expect a cake. She won’t say it but in her mind she’s thinking: it’s the least you could do. So don’t miss out on showing her just how much you love her, and just how much more appreciative you are now of her sacrifices than that pimply, sweaty drummer boy who effed up her afternoon naps. </p><p dir="auto">Here are 10 of the best cakes in town picked with her in mind. We have no doubt you will like them too. </p><div> </div><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/ancx/food-n-drink/2021/03/cake-summer.jpg"/><figcaption>Flour Pot Manila&#x27;s Summer Orange Cake</figcaption></figure></div><h3>1) Flour Pot Manila’s Summer Orange Cake</h3><p>This limited edition “boucake” is made of alternating light layers of Valencia orange flavored chiffon and Moroccan orange blossom buttercream, studded with bits and pieces of walnuts and candied orange peels and is topped with fresh flowers, making it a cake and a flower bouquet in one.

But as a special treat on Mother’s Day, Chef Chele and his wife Teri are bringing back one of their popular limited edition flavors, the “Truffle Burnt Basque Cheesecake,” for one day only —Sunday, May 9, Mother’s Day. </p><p>Visit <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chefcheleskitchen/?hl=en">@chefcheleskitchen on IG</a> to access its order form on or before May. 7.

Ube sponge cake soaked in ube milk, topped with a layer of fresh ube halaya, whipped cream, and ube halaya shavings. It’s like eating a really good ube ice cream in tres leches cake form. A refrigerator cake that is best eaten chilled and consumed within three days of delivery date. </p><p>Visit <a href="https://www.instagram.com/marts.kitchen/?hl=en">@marts.kitchen on IG</a> or text 0917-570.1996 to order ASAP. Not into ube?

It’s going to be easy to finish one of these, as there is no powdery, chalky aftertaste on the cream cheese frosting, nor is there bitterness on the cake base (which is technically a tinted red devil’s food cake) that I tend to taste in other commercially available red velvets. I also suspect that Pastry Chef Marlene Monfort uses real vanilla bean to flavor her frosting as I see some fine black spots on it. A must-try for fellow red velvet lovers. </p><p>Text 0917-7020005 to order.
