As the name mentions, I started baking cakes for Cakes4kids, which serves underserved youth. They work with case workers in your area so that you can bake for kids that are victims of abuse, in shelters, homeless, etc. and otherwise wouldn’t be able to receive a birthday or celebration cake. As a baker I love making others happy with my goods, but this goes above and beyond that to make their day more special. This organization touched my heart deeply when I learned about it and I am truly honored to volunteer my services. I hope the cakes I make for these kids make their day better and their birthday memorable.
If you have a Cakes4kids in your area, I recommend joining, and if not, you can always start your own local chapter!

That sounds amazing! I have so much admiration
Thank you for doing this, children in care need this.
Thank you so much for doing this! I am also a volunteer baker for for goodness cakes, completely different area that cakes4kids covers but it’s the same sentiment. I’m so happy to see more people spreading the joy of baking.
The cake is lovely and I know the child was so happy and grateful
Wow this is inspiring! Totally going to look into it in my area.
I was in a DV shelter on my birthday last year and I received a cake from the staff. I was in such a trauma haze I hadn’t thought that someone probably donated it. I wish I could thank them. It was so nice. It was the only acknowledgment of my birthday that year.
Thank you for doing this ❤️
It’s a beaut
I thought that said “undeserved” and I was like damn roasted.
I also volunteer for Cake4kids! There are chapters around the country so if interested check out the website. Even though we don’t see the kids we bake for I get so much self satisfaction just thinking about helping celebrate their birthdays.
