Sweetest Mum

Tray bakes and 'wee buns' are the vital part of Northern Ireland cultural life!  Mums adore a cup of tea or coffee accompanied by a fifteen, carmel square or rice krispie bun.  Ditty's Bakery in Castledawson is renowned for its jam and apple turnovers and apple sweetened pancakes.  Miller's Bakery in Belfast is known for its crunchy Paris buns while the fruit cakes from the Corn Dolly in Newry are a real treat.  So why not surprise your mum and make her an afternoon tea that she will not forget!

On the other hand if you want to make Mothers Day extra special why not go out for afternoon tea. Whether, it is the quaint surroundings of the Bay Tree in Holywood, known for its cinnamon scones and good atmosphere, or the luxury of afternoon tea at the Merchant Hotel Belfast, where you can indulge in freshly made sandwiches, baked scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, followed by an assortment of sweet pastries, it will be an afternoon your mother will not forget!
