A Classic for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is right around the corner! Are you ready?
I always stress out a little bit because I never know what to get my mom. Fortunately, we have similar style and taste and I usually end up buying her something I’d want for my own home knowing she will love it too. 😉
Like many of you, we not only shower our moms with love and thoughtful gifts, but we also make sure mom gets amazing food that day like this Strawberries and Cream Angel Food Cake!
It’s delicious!

Love your recipes! I am about to try this new one. Thanks!
Not only is this Strawberry and Cream Angel cake pretty, it is also delicious. This is my go to cake for special dinners for friends. Sometimes I use an angel food cake, sometimes just a cake mix. Both are so good. Thanks for the recipe.
I know this is an old post. I made this and it was so good on the angel food cake. I was curious, do you think this filling would taste good between the layers of a white cake and then covered with a light buttercream frosting? Wasn’t sure if I added some strawberries into the filling between 2 cakes if that would work well? Thanks so much!
I bet that would be yum! One way to find out 😉 Let me know what you think!
Really disappointed with this recipe… I tried making this for my bf’s 30th birthday and I don’t really understand the need for 1.5 cups of milk. The cream mixture was like pancake batter. It just completely soaked through the cake.
Do you make the pudding beforehand or just add the pudding mix and mix it with the milk and vanilla?
You do not make it ahead. You’ll mix the powder with the milk & vanilla 🙂 Hope that helps!
Hi, I’m making the cake for my moms birthday tomorrow, can I put it together today and refrigerate over night ? And out the strawberries on tomorrow?
Sorry to not respond earlier. How’d it turn out?
Hi, one year my mom & I made lots of cinnamon rolls & pies for a church function, but even though it was kind of a working mothers day, we were together the whole day doing what we loved most, chatting & baking, thanks for the chance to win !
Those days are the best!!
Is the pudding instant or reg pudding mix. I am dieing to try this recipes
Instant pudding:) It’s delicious!! Hope you like it!!
This will be my first Mother’s Day as a mom but I was pregnant last year and my husband surprised me with tulips and a cheesecake!
That’s sweet of him!! I hope your first Mother’s Day as a mother, was wonderful!!
These recipes look AMAZING! ! CAN’T WAIT TO TRY!!
They are amazing!! I’d love to know what you think! Hope you like them as much as we do.
I almost went to work for HEB out of college, LOL. Love the grocery store! Mother’s Day memory – favorite pancakes made by my little girls.
I love it too!! That’s a great memory:) I love anything that my kids make or do for me, they’re the best gifts!
Love, love, love HEB….so great w/prices and produce always super fresh!!
It sure is a great store and I totally agree with what you said! Thanks!
Who doesn’t love HEB?!? Happy Mother’s day!
Haha..I know I love them!! Hope you had a great Mother’s Day!
Yum! I need some breakfast. ????
I love breakfast!! Have you tried this recipe? It is delicious!! I’d love to know if you try it!
I am not a mom, but every Mother’s Day with my mom is special.
I totally agree!! I love my mom so much and just being with her on that special day, makes it great!
My wonderful mom passed away a year and a half ago. I would give anything just to have one more Mothers Day with her. She was truly the best mom a daughter could have. She is constantly on my mind. Everyone please don’t take your moms for granted. Treat her like everyday is Mothers Day.
I am so sorry to hear that, Lisa!! That is great advice! So grateful that we can hold memories close to our hearts!!
What size box of pudding?????
A small box… 3.4 oz box.
It’s so hard to choose my favorite Mother’s Day memory because they are all great. However, one year my girls gave me tickets to see Norah Jones because she is one of my favorite singers. They wanted to give me something that was just for me. It was incredible!!
Wow!! That is a great gift!! You could tell that they put thought into it and wanted to give you something that you would really enjoy! Thanks for sharing:)
I am always making your recipes and sharing them with friends and family.
Thanks for all the hard work.
Thank you so much, Rachel!! I’m so happy that you are trying recipes for your family and friends. I hope you’ve liked them as much as we do:)
My favorite mother’s day memory is the first mother’s day I became a mom. It changed my perspective on being a great role model and the true meaning of love.
That first Mother’s Day as a mom sure does! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Kristyn for all the nice recipes. Have a Wonderful and Happy Week!
Thank you Liz!! Hope your week is great!
My favorite memory is my first mother’s day – that little boy is now 40 years old – where does time go??
The time goes by so fast, doesn’t it!? Thanks for sharing!!
I love Heb. Honestly One of the best grocery stores I have ever been to! And thanks for the recipe. I always forget strawberry short cake as a dessert. It’s one of my faves!
I love HEB and especially love strawberry shortcake!! Thanks for stopping by!! Hope you give this recipe a try!
love some good dessert recipes from you!!
Oh, thank you!! We love desserts at our home, so I have lots to share!:)
The Breakfast Biscuits are so cute 🙂 One of my fave Mother’s Day traditions was buying corsages for my grandmas from HEB! #HEBMoms
Thanks!! I bet she loved the corsages each year! Thanks for sharing:)
We absolutely love the H-E-B angel food cake mix… It is actually the best one we have ever used. One of my favorite Mother’s Day memories was waking up to breakfast in bed made my my sweet little ones… Peanut butter toast and juice! They did it all by themselves. ???? #HEB
Love to see the efforts made by kids! So cute! Thanks for sharing.
I just love how on Mother’s Day, you get recognition for the work you do 365 days a year. It’s like your family finally notices!
Haha…so true. It needs to be more often:)
My Mom is famous for her amazing homemade angel food cake, overtime I see one it reminds me of her. This one looks amazing! One of my favorite Mother’s Day memories was just a couple years ago when all NINE of us children were able to be with our Mom on Mother’s Day, which never happens anymore now that we are grown. We filled a cute box with her favorite things and favorite things of ours that reminded us of her.
I bet your mom loved it!! It does get hard when everyone is busy with their own lives. That sounds so sweet! Thanks for sharing!
Getting an engagement ring for mother’s day
Awesome!! You’ll never forget that!:) Thanks for sharing!
My favorite Mothers day memories are getting together with my mother and my grandmother
Those are the best!! Thanks for sharing!!
I wander if breakfast biscuit cups good for people with diabetes…. I want to try this for mother-in-law!
I’m not sure what she needs to avoid, but maybe you can show her the ingredients and you can always substitute if you need to:) Let me know if she can or if you make any changes.
My favorite Mother’s Day Memory was seeing my Mom hanging out with her mom.
It’s fun to see them hang out, isn’t it?? Thanks for sharing!!
I remember being at a Mother’s Day family cook-out when I was 6, and losing my first tooth from an ear of corn!
Haha..corn will do that!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I think I shall have to direct my family to this post as a not-so-subtle hint about what they can make me for Mother’s Day!
So, did you direct your family here? I hope so and hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
The cake looks wonderful and Angel food is my favorite! My favorite memories are just having my family with me, I love ’em!
It is wonderful!!!:) Those are my favorite memories as well! Thanks for sharing!
What Mom wouldn’t love both those recipes for Mothers Day – or any other day for that matter! They both look delicious!
You can have them anytime!!:) Thanks for stopping by and I’d love to know if you try these recipes!
These are both such great Mother’s Day recipes! I’ll forward them to my hubby. 🙂
So, did you get any of these for breakfast on Mother’s Day? I hope so! Thanks so much!
Unfortunately no, but the day was still special. You are so sweet to check back and ask! Maybe I’ll make both of these for him for Father’s Day! 🙂
There you go, then you can have them, too!:) Good idea!
Lovely recipes. Thank you.
Your recipes are to DIE FOR! I’ve been using the Sugar Cookies recipe for the last few years and I love the Chocolate chip cookie recipe as well! Can’t wait to try this one out. 🙂
