Jazz up your Mother’s Day shortcakes with a little “I Love Mom” pennant flag. Let the kids make their own flags or buy pre-made ones at your local craft store and write in your saying.
If Mom has any favorite dishes or china, now is the time to use them! Keep it easy but “fancy,” so she’ll feel like Queen for the day!
My shortcakes for Mother’s Day entertaining are heart-shaped (using simple heart cookie cutters), but try your hand at it with other shapes like letters spelling out M-O-M or a star shape, since Mom is certainly a shining star!
