At the beginning of each month, you will receive a newsletter that includes delivery dates for the upcoming months and a form to sign up to drop off cakes. Visit the Volunteer page to learn more.

For MCPS students, you can receive SSL hours for baking and decorating cakes (not driving cakes). Students may only earn SSL hours for decorating or baking cakes in a public space under the direct supervision of a representative from a nonprofit organization, school sponsor, or BC4F.

Yes, all skill levels are welcome! The decoration/flavor/design of your cake(s) is up to you! BC4F would prefer if you could write “Happy Birthday!” on your cake(s). You can make a cake from a cake mix or your favorite recipe. We prefer 9" round cakes since we have containers of that size that can easily transport the cakes to the charities. However, square and rectangle cakes are ok as long as they are individually boxed. ALL decorations MUST be edible.

The BC4F monthly newsletter provides the Google form to sign-up for cake deliveries, upcoming delivery dates, and organization updates. We encourage you to subscribe.

BC4F Maryland is protected under the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. As of right now, we do not bake cakes for children and seniors with food allergies. We ask that you do not put any nuts on your birthday cakes.

BC4F was founded by and is run by students. BC4F has an officer and executive board team comprised of around 30 students. The organization is advised by a Board of Directors, which is comprised of BC4F’s past presidents and other adults.

Donations are essential in maintaining BC4F’s operations, such as buying cake decorating supplies and cake containers. We appreciate all donations!

Every month, BC4F has a set delivery weekend. Volunteers drop off cakes at the BC4F president’s house over a two-hour timeframe. BC4F officers and executive board members drive the cakes to the charities.
