MANILA -- If you’re thinking of celebrating at home, here are some edible options for Mother’s Day.

1. Have a tea party with English Tea Shop

Known as a favorite to true tea enthusiasts, English Tea Shop offers TLC (Tea Loving Care) to its drinkers, its farmers-suppliers, and the environment with a promise of using only organic and sustainably sourced ingredients.

Drinking tea has many health benefits, including improving immune health and anxiety reduction, among others. Enjoy these benefits from the multi-awarded British brand in teas like Chamomile (to relax), Turmeric Ginger Lemongrass (anti-inflammatory), and their signature English Breakfast tea.

English Tea Shop also has a Wellness Me range that’s ideal for Moms and health-enthusiasts (Slim Me, Sleepy Me). The brand is available at leading grocery stores and online grocery stores.

2. Give Mom some Killercupcakes by Meg

Cupcakes were all the craze a few years ago, but it hasn't stopped for Killercupcakes by Meg.

Surprise Mom and kids with specialty cakes like the Pavlova, or even an elaborate fondant-decorated event cake for Mother’s Day. For freshly baked cupcake cravings, try their bestselling red velvet and addicting chocolate flavors.

Find them on Instagram or Facebook under @killercupcakesbymeg.

3. Keep it simple with The Chocolate Cake Project PH

In 2015, Kendrick Tan started putting cakes into tin cans to make storing them more convenient. While other iterations of tin cakes have become popular, the Chocolate Cake Project has stayed true to Tan’s love for straightforward chocolate cakes with some inventive frosting tweaks.

Start with the Classic (chocolate sponge cake topped with chocolate frosting, chocolate crumble, drizzle and caramel), then explore other cake options like Red Velvet, Nutty Chocolate Cake, and Salted Caramel Chocolate.

Message them on Facebook (@chocolatecakeproject).

4. Indulge Mom with Indulge by Daisy Marie's Adlai Champorado

Surprise mom with breakfast in bed with Indulge by Daisy Marie’s Dark Adlai Champorado. Adlai is known as a healthier alternative to rice, having less carbs and being more filling. In taste, it’s more similar to boiled white corn than rice, and its texture has more chew to it.

That difference with rice is obliterated in this Dark Adlai Champorado. A spoonful is as chocolatey, rich, and extra creamy as the original Triple Chocolate Champorado, but with less carbs and sweetness (as this uses dark chocolate).

Click on their order form via their Instagram page (@indulgebydaisymarie) to order your champorado buckets.

5. Say 'Merci Vuco' with Café Fleur

Celebrate Mother’s Day at home (or in the restaurant) with Chef Sau Del Rosario’s dishes from Café Fleur. Order a show-stopping centerpiece for lunch with a platter of Boneless Chicken Galantina or a roll of Pork Belly Lechon.

Families big and small can share the love by indulging in Café Fleur’s bestselling dishes (available in regular order/group sizes) like the Boneless Chicken Ala Plancha, Lamb Shank Caldereta, Duck Leg Cassoulet, or chef Sau’s famous Sisig Paella Capampangan.

To order, call their hotline at (0917) 192-8343. Moms dining in at Café Fleur on Mother’s Day get a mini version of Chef Sau’s viral hit, the Vuco Fye.

6. Mother Nature's Bounty Baskets by Crumbs and Grubs

Enjoy something cheesy this Mother’s Day with Crumbs and Grubs’ aptly named Mother Nature’s Bounty Baskets. A handwoven straw basket from Pangasinan contains Crumbs and Grubs' bestselling grass-fed burrata cheese as well as a bottle of Lolea Sangria Frizzante (red or white).

Make it a full gourmet meal for Mom by upgrading it with pasta (Pesto alla Genovese or Sundried Tomato Pasta). For an even sweeter time with Mom, order their bestselling Baguio Strawberry stuffed Croissants with homemade preserves and Palawan Honey.

9. Sebastian’s Ice Cream keeps Mother’s Day cool

Keep it cool this summer with Sebastian Ice Cream's Keso collection and new cake flavors.

Cheese ice cream is a unique Filipino flavor and in Sebastian’s Keso collection, it’s reimagined into flavors like the Cheesy Cookies and Cream with cheese-filled sandwich cookie pieces mixed into the sweet-salty cheese ice cream. There’s also the Cheddar Apple Pie, where the cheddar cheese’s umami and salt balances the sweet tangy creaminess of apples and cream.

For something uber cheesy, there’s the Tres Quesos—the ultimate cheese ice cream with grated cheddar, Monterey jack, and quickmelt cheese. It’s so cheesy that Sebastian’s recommends sandwiching a scoop in between warm pandesal a la Pinoy sorbetes.

Also for a limited time, ube lovers can also order a returning flavor — Sebastian’s Ube Keso ice cream, with amped up cheese ice cream swirled with rich ube halaya ice cream.

How about some bright and citrusy ice cream cakes for Mother’s Day? There’s the Lemon Drizzle Ice Cream Cake—a four-layered cake with yellow butter cake, buttercream ice cream, and tangy lemon glaze, topped with white chocolate drizzle and candied ginger. For something more Filipino, the calamansi takes center stage with the Calamansi Leche Flan Torte where the local citrus is made into a sour-sweet curd ice cream with ginger cookie crust and a thick slice of smooth leche flan.

The ice cream cakes and the Keso ice cream collection are available in Sebastian’s Ice cream shops, as well as via their website (www.sebastiansicecream.com) for both delivery and pick-up. Sebastian’s guarantees all their products are delivered frozen.
