The idea behind Free Cakes for Kids is simple: we bake for families, who find it difficult to provide a birthday cake for their child. All cakes are baked 100% by volunteers, who operate locally and independently in their own private kitchens.

Founded in December 2008 by Henriette Lundgren in Oxford, Free Cakes for Kids has grown to nearly 60 groups and many more volunteers across the country. As a shared idea, it is open to anyone who cares for cake and their community.
