FOR SOME KIDS, BIRTHDAYS ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED.

Our mission at For Goodness Cakes is to give individual youth at least one special moment that is about them. By providing a child a treat made especially for them, it gives them some much needed time to not feel the increasing pressure of their socioeconomic situation, but rather help nurture optimism and confidence at a critical age. 

”

They aren’t used to having someone celebrate their birthdays - and they were so grateful to have a cake made just for them.
