The Gift Guaranteed to Make Any Mom’s Day
When it comes to mother’s day gifts, most of us fall back on the last minute oldies-but-goodies: cards, candles, flowers, aromatherapy bath bombs, and so on. While those are all fine gifts for the person who gave you life, if you want to send mom a gift that’ll make her feel as special as she is (and secure your favorite child status), Milk Bar has you covered.
In honor of mother’s day, the award-winning bakery just brought back their fan-favorite limited edition Strawberry Shortcake collection, and it’s almost as sweet as the fabulous women in our lives. Whether you’re gifting in person or sending your love from afar, we can guarantee that these treats will put a smile on mom’s face.
But before we get into it, if you’re a Milk Bar newbie, here’s what you need to know:
Meet Our All-Time Favorite Bakery: Milk Bar
Dubbed “a dessert empire” by The New York Times, Milk Bar is considered an establishment in New York. However, that wasn’t always the case. Before becoming the host of Netflix’s Bake Squad and landing features in numerous other TV shows—Milk Bar’s Founder and CEO Christina Tosi opened the first Milk Bar store in 2008.
What started as a tiny bakery space in NYC has now expanded to more than a dozen locations across the country—and one bite of Milk Bar’s treats is enough to understand why. Milk Bar doesn’t just make desserts. They throw convention out the window to craft rule-breaking, palate-delighting treats that challenge the idea of what a dessert can be.
Milk Bar’s iconic desserts are a celebrity favorite—they’ve been spotted everywhere from Chrissy Tiegen’s Twitter to Bella Hadid’s Instagram story. And while their bestselling treats like the festive Birthday Cake and addictive Milk Bar Pie are adored year-round, their limited edition, seasonal treats have developed a cult-like following. We don’t expect this collection will be available for long…
And now without further ado, meet the Strawberry Shortcake Collection:
The Not-So-Short Strawberry Shortcake Cake
This is no ordinary strawberry shortcake. The Strawberry Shortcake Cake starts with a base layer of Milk Bar’s famous vanilla cake. Next comes the sweet and tangy strawberry jam that infuses its fresh berry magic into into the cake layer below.
Then comes shortcake crumbs that provide the perfect amount of texture and that quintessential shortcake flavor. Finally, it’s all blanketed in sweet cream frosting that’s silky smooth and perfumed with vanilla…and that’s just the first layer.
The sweet geniuses at Milk Bar take all of the deliciousness mentioned above, then they double it and top that off with another layer of vanilla cake and sweet cream frosting. Finally, they crown the multi-layered masterpiece with a ring of buttery shortcake crumbs and pack it up to be sent out to a lucky mother.
The Perfect Bite: Strawberry Shortcake Truffles
Since Milk Bar’s Strawberry Shortcake Truffles are made from many of the same ingredients as the cake, you might think they’re just a smaller, more portable version. While they have the same sweet, tangy, buttery, fruity flavor profile that the cake does, these flavor-bombs are in a league of their own.
The strawberry-studded, strawberry milk-soaked vanilla cake balls condense the flavor of an entire slice of cake into a single bite. Then, they’re rolled in strawberry shortcake crumbs in place of frosting, which allows for a mobile, mess-free cake eating experience (so she can take them to work and brag to her coworkers about how amazing her kid is).
If your mom is the kind-hearted dessert-sharing type, or she’s constantly on the move, these are the treats for her. We recommend ordering at least two dozen Strawberry Shortcake Truffles, because they always seem to mysteriously disappear.
This Sweet Collection Won’t Be Available for Long…
As we mentioned earlier, Milk Bar’s limited edition collections have been known to sell out quickly. Since this collection was available last spring, there’s already a dedicated community of Milk Bar Strawberry Shortcake fanatics that have been waiting for this collection to return for months.
We’re not kidding—people are passionate about these treats. See below:
