407 Volunteer Bakers across Florida
As of November 2026
A birthday cake can help a child feel seen, valued, and celebrated. Our volunteer bakers donate their time, ingredients, and decorating skills to create cakes inspired by each child’s interests.
We match families with an available baker in their area. Every cake is a gift, provided at no cost to the family.
How to Request a Cake
Cake requests are available for children ages 3–13, or ages 1–18 through our approved partner organizations. Please submit your request at least 14 days before the child’s birthday.
Complete our cake request form to share your child’s birthday, interests, and cake preferences. Approved partner organizations should use our partner request form.
Submitting a request does not guarantee a cake. Requests depend on volunteer baker availability in your area. Once a baker accepts your request, they’ll contact you to discuss the design and arrange pickup or delivery.
Behind every cake is a volunteer who gave their time, creativity, and care to make a child’s birthday brighter.
Browse a few of the cakes our bakers have shared with families across Florida—each one a reminder that kindness can turn a birthday into a memory to treasure.
Every meaningful journey has a beginning, and behind every beautiful birthday cake is a generous heart. Discover how Wish Upon a Cake began and meet some of the wonderful volunteer bakers who bring our mission to life.
Words from our Families
“Brandon absolutely loved his Spider-Man cake. The look on his face when he saw it was priceless, and it made his birthday feel extra special. Your generosity gave Brandon something every child deserves—to feel celebrated, special, and cared about. We are truly grateful for the difference you made in our lives.”

"Highways of Hope Florida has been a gift from God. My son turned 7 years old. Unfortunately, we were not able to order a cake for him this year due to our current circumstances, but Lisa helped us bring a smile to his face. We will be forever grateful for her help, thank you so much, and hope every kid gets a cake on their birthday."
