The Hearts Behind the Cakes
Behind every birthday cake is a volunteer who gives more than just ingredients and decorating skills. They give their time, creativity, and a little piece of their heart to help make a child's birthday special.
Our statewide network is made up of talented and compassionate bakers who believe every child deserves to feel celebrated.
We are proud to introduce just a few of the wonderful individuals who help bring the mission of Wish Upon a Cake to life.

Hi, I’m Steffi! I’m a hobby baker who started baking just for fun. Over time, I started creating cakes and designs I never thought I could bring to life, and it became something I truly love.
I’ve always had a heart for giving back. On my 38th birthday, I decided to feed the homeless and was blessed to provide meals for over 150 people. That experience really changed me and made me want to do more for my community.
Then my former boss sent me a TikTok about becoming a volunteer baker, and I knew I had to try it. I made my first volunteer cake, and when I received a picture of the child holding it with the biggest smile, it honestly felt surreal. That moment reminded me why I love baking.
Now I’m excited to keep creating cakes, giving back, and most importantly, making more children smile.
Lake Wales, Florida
My name is Megan and I'm the baker and cake decorator behind The Midnight Sugar Co. I've been baking and cake decorating for around 15 years. It's my absolute passion in life and I absolutely love being able to make special occasions that much more special and sweet!
I'm happy to be a part of such an amazing program to help children in need of cakes for their birthdays. I also had the opportunity to be the very first volunteer home baker to make a cake for a special little girl!
Bradenton, Florida
Being able to give back to the community in a sweet, meaningful way is so important to me. I believe everyone deserves a cake and a celebration on their birthday!
The family I had the honor of baking for was so kind and appreciative. They were over the moon to receive their cake, and seeing their excitement brought me so much joy—goosebumps, teary eyes, and everything!

Hi everyone! I’m Jen, owner of Jen’s Sweet Treats, a home bakery in North Fort Myers, Florida.
I love creating homemade treats for birthdays, celebrations, and special occasions. I’m also proud to volunteer with Wish Upon a Cake, a program of Highways of Hope Florida, providing birthday cakes for children and their families.
Being able to personally hand a cake to a family and see their smiles makes every bit of work worth it. It’s truly one of the most rewarding parts of what I do!
