CHICAGO (CBS) -- Across the country -- and here in Chicago -- there is an army of bakers.
Their mission? To put smiles on the faces of kids going through rough times.
The bakers are part of a nationwide organization called Cake4Kids. The Chicago chapter recently delivered its 1,000th cake. CBS 2 met one of the bakers as she was making her latest treat.
Lisa Swanson is making a birthday cake for a child she will never meet. "This particular young lady wanted basketball, so I decided to make it look like a basketball."
Swanson is a volunteer baker for Cake4Kids. It's a national network of bakers who make treats for children in difficult circumstances like those in foster care. "That's a need that needs to get filled, and I'm happy to do a teeny tiny part," Swanson said.
