Abuela’s Apron and the Smell of Vanilla: A Mother’s Day Story

There’s this old photo of my abuela in the kitchen, apron on, flour on her cheeks, and a wooden spoon in hand. You can’t smell pictures, but I swear, every time I see it, I smell vanilla and guava. It reminds me of Sunday mornings, salsa on the radio, and the way she’d say “a mamá se le celebra con comida y corazón.”

This year, Pinecrest Bakery is doing exactly that—bringing back the flavors that make our mamas feel loved, seen, and bien spoiled. Whether your mom is a classic merengue queen or more into red velvet cupcakes with strawberry filling, we’ve got Mother’s Day specials made with Cuban cariño and a little Miami sparkle.

Let’s dive into what makes this year’s Mother’s Day line-up one of our most heartmelting (and mouthwatering) yet.

Classic Cuban Cakes for the Queen of the House

Every mom has her style—some love elegance, others want flavor that hits like a bolero. We got both.

The Buttercream Mother’s Day Cake

One bite of this vanilla buttercream cake and I’m back at my childhood kitchen table, watching mami light the candles on her birthday cake. That sweet scent of rum, soft as a whisper, still reminds me of how she always served everyone before herself. This cake—delicate, creamy, and classic—feels just like her.

Serves 15–20, so the whole familia can have a slice of love.

Merengue Mother’s Day Cakes

This one’s for the moms who always bring the drama—in the best way. Light, fluffy, and decorated with flowers, butterflies, or Feliz Día de las Madres in beautiful script, it reminds me of my tía who wears perfume to sleep and still kisses you on both cheeks.

Choose from 15 or 25 slices. Because love and merengue are meant to be shared.

Not-So-Classics: Fun Cakes with Cuban Flair

We know moms love tradition, but they also deserve surprises. This year’s specials are full of love and sabor.

The Purse Cake

I remember watching my mom get ready every Sunday—her favorite purse in one hand, cafecito in the other. This cake is just like that purse: elegant, stylish, and filled with hidden sweetness. Vanilla buttercream, rum flavor, and fondant details that say “wow, mami slays.”

Serves 15–20. Picture-perfect, like her.

The Strawberry Marquesitas

These red velvet beauties remind me of the first time I made breakfast in bed for my mom. She smiled even though I burned the toast. These are my redemption—soft, filled with real strawberry, and way better than anything I ever baked as a kid.

Available in 6-pack or 12-pack. Perfect for sharing—or not.

Cupcakes Rellenos de Amor (Y Guava, Obvio)

Back in the day, we used to bring mom flowers. Now, we bring her cupcakes that look like flowers and taste like hugs.

The Cupcake Bouquet

Seven beautifully decorated vanilla cupcakes, each one filled with her favorite flavor: guava, Nutella, Oreo, cream cheese, or buttercream. I gave one to my suegra last year and she cried... then asked for another.

Sweet, thoughtful, and zero vase required.

Full Party? No Problem. Let Us Cater It.

Because nothing says “te amo” like a spread of Cuban favorites.

Mother's Day Cake Package #2

When I hosted my first Mother’s Day as a mom, I didn’t want to lift a finger—just enjoy mi cafecito and the chaos of the kids running around. This pack is a total life-saver: merengue cake, pastelitos, croquetas, and bocaditos de jamón. No cooking, no stress, just joy.

Feeds the whole familia and keeps the kitchen spotless.

Arroz Imperial Mother’s Day Meal

This one hits deep. Arroz Imperial was my grandmother’s signature dish. Every holiday, she’d serve it with a big smile and say, “coman, mis amores.” Now, you can get it with maduros or yuca, salad, and a merengue cake—all in one meal that tastes like home.

Feeds 15–25. Just like abuela used to do it.

A Little Something Sweet for the Kids (or Mami’s Desk)

Not every gift has to be huge. Sometimes, it’s the little things that melt hearts.

Cake Pops with Sprinkles: Great for little hands or sweet cravings after lunch.
Sugar Print Cookies: Add a photo and boom—you’ve got a sweet, edible memory.

Perfect for teachers, coworkers, or your favorite mama who loves a cafecito con algo dulce.
