🖤🎂 Introducing the Dead Beat Bakery Birthday Project 🎂🖤
At Dead Beat Bakery, I believe every child deserves to feel celebrated on their birthday.
Life has gotten expensive, and sometimes families have to make impossible choices. I understand that more than most. Growing up, every birthday cake my siblings and I received was purchased with LINK benefits, and while we may not have had much, my family always made sure we felt loved on our birthdays. Those memories have stayed with me. Now with LINK wanting to cut out all sugary sweets, that includes birthday cakes I had to find a way to step in..
Every few months, Dead Beat Bakery will be selecting one child to receive a FREE custom birthday cake, made with love, because every child deserves to feel special on their big day.
Now, I would love to pay some kindness forward..🖤
🖤 To nominate a child:
Send me a private message telling me their story. It can be your own child or someone you’d like to nominate. Tell me what makes them so special and why you’d like them to be chosen.
This isn’t about finding the saddest story. It’s about recognizing incredible kids, supporting families who may be going through a difficult season, and reminding someone they’re not alone.
Please keep nominations in my inbox rather than in the comments to protect everyone’s privacy.
If you’d like to help this project reach more families, please share this post. My hope is that the Dead Beat Bakery Birthday Project becomes something our community can look forward to for years to come, bringing smiles, sweet memories, and a little extra joy to children who deserve it most. 🖤🎂
