Little Debbie Strawberry Mother's Day Cakes

Last year I had the lemon version of these Strawberry Mother’s Day Cakes and I still can’t tell what’s so mother’s day about them.  Really, Little Debbie, was the frosting pattern what made the name for you?

Anyway, the strawberry version has a sharper flavor  that does remind me more of the life of a mother being bitter sweet. I don’t really know. I think of being a mom as being kind of like owning a cat. I love the little fur ball, but I can’t always be there to keep it safe.

I would figure that if you sat down and had tea with mom these cakes wouldn’t impress her that much. They would be something but not an impressive something.

That said these are good little things that I love to dip in my coffee.  I think of my mom lost to me now for more than thirty years and say “I’m going to do better to make you proud”.

 

Little Debbie Mother's Day Lemon Cakes

 

Little Debbie Mother's Day Lemon Cakes where at my discount market this year and I must say that I had enthusiasm for them.  Then again, I’m a big fat fellow who lost his mother young, and so I wish I could share these with the old girl. My family never felt that way but it has been a good many years.

Anyway, these cakes are mildly lemon, as opposed to sharply lemon, and go well with milder coffee.  I would say that these are a fine addition to tea time with mom but would not be a major gesture to tell her you care.  These and doing the dishes afterwards may go over a bit better but you should wash her car or something to go along with it.

In other words, these are nice and fall short of the bitter sweet feeling of watching your children grow up and move and then never call.
