Mother Lode

TRUE COLORS

Could Mom's wood-paneled breakfast nook or floral-themed powder room use a bit of freshening up? Book her a private, in-home color consultancy service with the paint and wallpaper pros of Farrow & Ball. No pressure: An expert will stop by to discuss décor, finishes and pattern preferences, as well as assess light, space and architectural details. $200/hour. Call 888-511-1121.

COOKING UP A TREAT

What's almost as fun as eating cupcakes? Making them! At Sur La Table's "Mommy and Me Bake: Cupcakes" cooking class, you'll whip up tasty batters and icings to create three sweet treats — Tuxedo, Peanut Butter Cheeky Monkey and Strawberry Ladybug. Even better? You don't have to clean up the mess. May 12, 10 a.m. to noon. $35/person. Sur La Table, 306 W. 57th St., 800-243-0852; surlatable.com.

IT'S A CAKE WALK

Forget the brunch – bring on the cupcakes! The "Cupcake Crawl Across Manhattan" visits six boutique bakers across the city, including Sprinkles, City Cakes and Sweet Revenge, to sate Mom's sugar cravings. Requirements: comfy shoes, a Metrocard and an empty stomach. Wed. to Sun., 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. $50/person. 800-838-3006; sugartoothtours.com.

SEA CHANGE

Bid sayonara to your average brunch, and ahoy to the Mother's Day Brunch Cruise, a 2 3Ž4-hour trip circumnavigating Manhattan. Soak up the city sights — the George Washington Bridge, Governor's Island, the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations — while sipping mimosas and chowing down on a bountiful breakfast spread from the deck (or glassed-in observatory) of the gorgeous, 1920s-style yacht, the Manhattan. 10 a.m. Chelsea Piers. 212-913-9991; sail-nyc.com.

SHE WON'T SEE THIS COMING

If he's good enough for Jennifer Lopez and Courteney Cox, he's good enough for your mom. Thomas John, clairvoyant to the stars, specializes in psychic readings and mediumship — which means he can do everything from talking to dead people to predicting the future in love, career and relationships. What better way to bridge the generation gap than to talk about past lives during the Mother-Daughter (or -Son) Reading Package, which includes two back-to-back 30-minute readings. $200. 347-637-8592; mediumthomas.com.

UP ON THE ROOF

She'll dive right into this Mother's Day package at Le Parker Meridien. Along with a one-hour massage or facial at Moonshine Spa, a blowout at Drybar, a signature manicure and lunch at the hotel's Petit Blue Dog, Mom gets a whole month of access to the hotel's awesome 40-foot-long, glass-enclosed rooftop pool, 42 floors up. Plus, there's an outdoor sundeck with artificial grass and comfy beach chairs, where she can work on her tan. $350. 212-708-7444; moonshinespa.com.
