Project Ideas: Birthday Care Cake

Many elderly people do not receive birthday cakes any more. You can decorate a cake for a special senior, or decorate cakes for all the residents in a nursing home!

Time Required:
2 to 8 hours

Materials Needed:
Cake ingredients, Paper and markers (For a card)

Steps:
Call a nursing home and ask if any of their residents have upcoming birthdays. As a family, decide if you are going to do individual cakes or make one big cake and celebrate everyoneýs birthday in that month. Let everyone help. Kids can help mix, grease pans, make frosting and create decorations. The decorating can be a family work of love! Bring a card for that added touch and let them know you care.
