Meet the Edinburgh bakers making birthday cakes for Ukrainian refugee children

A group of Edinburgh cake warriors are calling for more bakers after the first two cakes have been delivered aboard the Ukrainian refugee cruiseliner in Leith.

Edinburgh’s Free Cakes for Kids initiative has been asked to provide birthday cakes for the 385 refugee children aboard the MS Victoria in Leith, and local organisers need more bakers to keep up with demand.

“We have about 30 active volunteers at the moment, and we ask them to make at least one cake a month. Now that we’re providing more for the Ukrainian families , we want to increase our volunteers to handle all the requests,” said Leslie, Edinburgh’s Free Cakes for Kids organiser and volunteer.
