Wonderful! What a brilliant cake and so perfect for the little girl's birthday; such thoughtful, personal touches. Thank you so much Free Cakes for Kids - Blackburn with Darwen - another absolute gem! 😍

πŸŽ‚ This joyful cake was baked by new volunteer Jade for a little girl celebrating her 8th birthday πŸ’›

Alongside the colourful cake decorations and sprinkles, Jade also included some thoughtful gifts and treats for the birthday girl to keep and enjoy, including sunglasses, jewellery, make-up and a pen.

Referred to us by our friends at Darwen Asylum Refugee Enterprise - DARE, we hope this helped make her birthday feel extra special.

A huge thank you to Jade for such a kind and thoughtful first cake with us πŸ’•
