Mom's Chocolate Cake Mix

Mom's Famous Cake Mix from My Own Ideas blog #mothersday #mom #recipe #baking #cake #gift #packaging #label(Used in this project: Large Photo Labels and Text Labels in Cherish Hearts style with Paper Tin-Tie Bags.)

This year, I am celebrating my mom and the special talents she shares with others, by making this chocolate cake mix recipe that she used to love to make. When I first learned to bake, this was the cake my mom taught me. My brothers and I loved it, and I am certain mom and dad did too, because we had it all the time! I never got tired of it. When I grew up, I made it for my children and taught them how to make it, and they are now loving and sharing this recipe, so it goes a long way in our family.

For Mother’s Day, this will be my tribute to my mom. We will give these out at our Mother’s Day brunch, which is always attended by large numbers of family members. Mom will be surprised and I am sure astonished and delighted at seeing the photo of her and dad, and how good they looked when they were 25!

You can do this with any number of things your mother is good at making, cooking, or baking. Or, you can give her the empty bags, already decorated with personalized labels, and she can fill them and give them out whenever she is ready.

Enjoy making your Mom’s day extra special!
