Baking with a Purpose

At the Cake Therapy Foundation we are dedicated to crafting transformative spaces and opportunities by leveraging the therapeutic power of baking. Our mission is to cultivate safe and secure havens for women and girls who have been impacted by the justice system, the foster care system, and out-of-home placement (displacement). We aspire to empower them to explore, learn, grow, and achieve greatness through the art and joy of baking.
