We’ve been thinking about getting a cake for my mom because god knows she’s baked so many cakes for us throughout the years, and we’re so sick of getting the boring prima deli cakes and the secret recipe cakes we always get (because let’s face it, we usually end up eating more of the cake than she ever does, so we have a very vested interest) so we’re thinking of getting one from Coffee Bean this time. And I know it’s already Sunday evening as I’m typing this and mother’s day is pretty much over, but our family tends to run on a different time schedule from the rest of the world, so it’s cool.

We have so many fun choices, the first being this white chocolate strawberry mousse cake:

I really like strawberry but this cake is so visual in a very vicious and angry way, am I right? I feel like if pms was a cake, this would be it. I would particularly NOT recommend this for new moms because it’s basically screaming, yay welcome back to all of this!

Moving along now, this is such a weird cake we found:

I feel like this is so relevant, having been breast-fed as a baby. But I’d have to get two and they’re really really pricey.

Another option was this black cherry cheesecake.

I never knew cherries came in black, so this is potentially exciting for all of us. And I like the fact that the chocolate discs are all very clearly not friends with each other because they refuse to make eye contact, it’s rare you find a cake that exudes so much tension and dramatic flair.

This one just looks all-out CRAZY so naturally we fell in love with it right away.

I have no idea what melange means but I’m willing to bet it doesn’t mean subtle. This is like the tiara version of cake that you’re supposed to put on another cake after it wins the international miss cake pageant. I like how fun this cake might prove to be; I can see myself trying out the mentos-coke challenge with the fruit mountain and ending up with a ceiling full of fruit. But on the other hand, that looks like a mega-load of fruits to eat through before you get to the actual cake.

Okay can we take a few moments to appreciate how awesome this is:

Chempedak loaf! I’m definitely getting this for myself! Where have you been hiding all my life?

Okay, back to our initial objective! This was so cute, although I can foresee complications.

I don’t think my dad would appreciate psycho behavior in the form of cake make-up, and although my mom isn’t particularly brand-conscious, I really don’t think she would appreciate being given a handbag that we all end up eating together. We’re already going to be late with the cake; this might just push her off the edge.

Okay, so we finally found something we all loved with all of our hearts:

Isn’t she stunning? We’re not 100% sure yet haha stay tuned and maybe some time this week (or next week) I’ll update you guys with the exciting events that are sure to unfold, okay!

Also, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all moms reading! <3 And happy mothers day to all moms at heart too, I know a lot of women who, for various reasons, can’t experience the joy of motherhood (Robin Scherbatsky being one) and I feel like these women also deserve our respect and love today. So I guess what I’m saying is – happy mothers day to every woman in the world!
