Student dentist makes epic custom cakes for children in need

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

A Dunedin baker wants every child to cut into a special birthday cake on their big day, so she's making them herself – for free.

Hannah Chung, 28, said ordering custom cakes and buying ingredients had become "so expensive" some struggling parents were forced to forgo their child's birthday party to pay for baking supplies.

A single cake from a speciality bakery could cost hundreds of dollars, well out of most people's price range, so Chung started taking suggestions on her Facebook page - Hannah Bakes for families who needed a hand in 2017.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
