It can be a mom, a lola, a tita who stepped in, or anyone who took on the role in their own way.</p><p>That range carries over into how the day is celebrated. Across Metro Manila, this year’s options reflect that same variety, from full family spreads to simple desserts and unhurried meals out.</p><div><strong>A centerpiece that doubles as a gift</strong></div><p>For those who still gravitate toward flowers on Mother’s Day but want something more lasting, Max’s Corner Bakery offers a version you can bring straight to the table.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:655px;display:block"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778039540072Max’s Corner Bakery Spring Bouquet Vanilla Cream Cake, topped with handcrafted buttercream tulips in yellow, white, and pink, arranged like a floral bouquet for Mother’s Day..png" style="width:655px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Max’s Corner Bakery Spring Bouquet Vanilla Cream Cake, topped with handcrafted buttercream tulips in yellow, white, and pink, arranged like a floral bouquet for Mother’s Day.

It replaces the usual cake-and-flowers pairing in one go.</p><p>Underneath, it stays light and easy to share, built on vanilla chiffon layered with strawberry cream and finished with a smooth cream cheese frosting. The cake is available for a limited time at Max’s Restaurant locations across Luzon, with orders open until May 10 through GrabFood, Foodpanda, and Max’s delivery channels.</p><div><strong>A no-fuss family spread</strong></div><p>For families who prefer to keep things traditional, Max’s Restaurant offers a straightforward way to gather.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:655px;display:block"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778039605773Max’s Restaurant Mother’s Day Bundle, featuring signature fried chicken, deboned pata, chicken canton, rice, creamy mushroom soup, and sago’t gulaman, served as a family-style feast for sharing..png" style="width:655px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Max’s Restaurant Mother’s Day Bundle, featuring signature fried chicken, deboned pata, chicken canton, rice, creamy mushroom soup, and sago’t gulaman, served as a family-style feast for sharing.
