2026 Bake-a Wish!

I’ve signed up for the Bake a Wish fundraiser because baking is one of my favourite creative outlets. I love making birthday cakes for friends and family, especially for the kids, whose wonderfully imaginative requests always give me a new challenge!

I never charge for the cakes because I genuinely enjoy bringing their ideas to life. For my Bake a Wish fundraiser, I’ll be making 21st birthday cupcakes for my neighbour, which feels like the perfect way to combine something I love with supporting a wonderful cause!

I’m baking wishes come true for seriously ill kids

Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for critically ill kids. 

Join me at my delicious Bake A Wish event or help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation. 

There are over 900 kids on their Wish Journey right now, and Make-A-Wish is the only Australian children’s charity that focuses exclusively on wishes. That means all their efforts go towards fundraising and creating wishes for children facing a critical illness. 

Join my delicious fundraiser and help make wishes come true!
