Gift Ideas For Mum

23 Apr 2021

Is your mum into making cakes, cookies and other sweet treats? Here are some presents we know she’d love to receive.


 
It’s that time of year again when you need to get your mum a present to say thank for all the times she’s wiped your bottom, cleaned up your vomit and tucked you in at bedtime. And to say thank you for looking after you as a child… 

 

1. EDIBLE ART DECORATIVE PAINT - 8 PACK

These paint packs by Edible Art are perfect as a gift: beautifully packaged and they have the colours your mum will need to create beautiful edible works of art. And you may even get to eat some of them!

   

 

 

2. SPRINKS SPRINKLE SPATULAS

Now, a spatula may seem like a present that your mother will be disappointed by, you know, like a toaster or a vacuum cleaner, but not this spatula, we promise! It has actual sprinkles embedded in the silicone, and will make your mum smile each time she opens her utensil drawer and sees it. They’re the prettiest spatulas we’ve ever seen. They’re fully also dishwasher safe, which is desirable.

 

 

 

3. MAKE PAINTING A BREEZE WITH AN AIRBRUSH

An airbrush can quickly transform a cake from wow to WOW! Working with dark coloured fondant like black and red can be really tricky, but with an airbrush, you can just use white icing and then spray it the colour you need. Easy. We love the Loyal High Capacity 30psi airbrush as it has three speed settings and easily sprays metallic paints too.

 

 

 

4. GIFT BOX KITS ARE ALWAYS A HIT

These kits are perfect for mums who are just starting out in edible crafts. There’s three to choose from:

The Beginner’s Kit: has all the bits you need you get started to make cupcakes, cakes and more!

The Caker’s kit: special tools for making and decorating cakes

The cookie Kit: special tools for making cookies and working with royal icing

         

 

 

 

If you are the creative one and would like to show your mum how much you love her by making her something beautiful and delicious to eat, here are some ideas for you:

   

 

CUSTOM COOKIE CUTTERS

Custom Cookie Cutters have a wide range of embossers for Mother’s Day. They are easy to use: roll out your fondant to about 5mm think, press the embosser into the fondant, remove the embosser and cut out your desired shape. You can then leave that to dry and use it as a cupcake topper, or you can glue it onto a cookie. Paint it or don’t paint it – the choice is yours!

Here are some of our favourite ones!

I llama my mama, because who doesn’t like a silly pun!

Is your mum a tea drinker? These are perfect!

    

How about some little love hearts?

 

SWEET STAMP OUTBOSS

Sweet Stamp OUTboss have some lovely prints too. These work the same way as the Custom Cookie Cutters, except they make the fondant pop out.

 

Does your mum like a coffee or five to get through the day?
