The Baileys guide to Mother’s Day brunch
Mother’s Day – the time-honoured tradition where we get to show a little love to the truly wonderful women in our lives. Whether you’re celebrating your mum, grandmother, soulmate or sister-from-another-mister, we think you’ll enjoy doing it the Baileys way. Because we’ve discovered that a brunch speaks a thousand words (as the saying goes), and we’re full of ideas for making it extra indulgent.If you’re planning to host but you’re not sure where to start, you’ve come to the right place. From must-have table décor and pressie ideas to what you fill the glasses with, we’ve put together a guide to the most memorably heart-warming Mother’s Day.
Setting the scene
Start by preparing a joyful table. Thoughtful table presentation can elevate your Mother’s Day brunch from a nice treat to an indulgent experience fit for a queen. Think elegant tableware, pretty napkins, soft music and flowers – these small touches can transform the brunch table to an experience in itself; setting the tone for the tantalising treats and gastronomic gorgeousness to follow.
Your Mother’s Day menu
We don’t know about you, but we believe lunch platters are best shared. It means you’re not rushing around in the kitchen perfecting several courses and have more time to spend with the beloved women in your life. You could lay out a whole assortment of savoury and sweet finger foods, incorporating their absolute favourites. The savoury plates, for example, could include cocktail sausages, mini sandwiches, crisps, olives, carrot sticks with houmous, a simple cheeseboard. And the sweet side of things could be biscuits, chocolates, a cake, and – our favourite – the Baileys frozen strawberry clusters.
