Mr Baker:

Rob Baker-Gall is the face behind Mr Baker’s Cakes and Mr Baker’s Cakes: The Blog.

A long-time passionate baker (it’s in his name after all), it was only after being asked to make a birthday cake for a friend’s daughter back in 2014 that Rob caught the bug for cake decorating and it is safe to say he was hooked.

Five years on, Rob has become well-known in the cake world for his fun-packed sculpted cakes and his regular online content creation, with multiple appearances in both print media and on television, and he loves that his passion for all-things-sugar is able to bring joy to so many.

Here at Mr Baker’s Cakes: The Blog – one of the UK’s top-rated baking and cake decorating blogs and the home of the weekly online magazine, Something Sweet – his blend of topical articles and posts, recipes, tutorials and interviews with some of the most recognisable faces in cake have made Rob’s blog an essential resource for any cake artist and he is passionate about sharing and celebrating the incredible talents out there in the world of cake.

I am absolutely delighted to be supporting a brand I am absolutely delighted to be supporting a brand new non-profit that is aiming to support children and families touched by life-threatening illnesses. Creator, Joanne Howard is hoping that Cakes for Heroes will be able to give them back just a brief moment of the normal childhood experiences that are so often stolen from them. If there is one thing that Joanne knows only too well, it’s how a family can be turned completely upside down by a terminal diagnosis. When she shared the story of how her son Jacob had been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia when he was only five years old and the myriad of ways their lives had had to change to support him in his battle against his illness, I could barely begin to imagine what that experience had been like. One of the best parts of being a baker and a cake decorator is the opportunities it gives us to bring joy to those around us, but Joanne’s story – well, Jacob’s story really – really brought home the fact that many children miss out on this joy… these normal childhood experiences that are stolen from them. Joanne’s vision for Cakes for Heroes is inherently simple: to match up these deserving heroes with the talented and generous bakers and cake decorators across the country who are already lining up to help, with the goal of giving them back just a moment of normality… of joy… and I honestly couldn’t think of a more noble cause. I am both honoured and delighted to have been asked to use my various platforms to help share the wonderful work of Cakes for Heroes and I am so excited to see it flourish and grow. To find out more about the non-profit (which Joanne is hoping will eventually qualify for charity-status), visit the brand new website here: https://www.cakesforheroes.co.uk PS. To celebrate the launch of the website, Cakes for Heroes is giving away a Kenwood kMix stand mixer! Head to the website now to find out how you can get your hands on this gorgeous piece of kit! 🙌🏼 @hull_cake_maker @cakes.forheroes #cakesforheroes #newcharity #nonprofit #givingback #cakedecorating #sugarcraft #baking
