Bill Hanish, the owner of a Hanisch bakery and café, wanted to make something sweet for high school students who graduated from Red Wing this year. At first, he planned to bake and give a cake to all 220 graduates of the school. But rumors of this quickly spread, and other schools, parents, local residents, as well as business owners donated money asking them to bake cakes for their graduates.

As a result, today more than 800 decorated cakes for graduates of 2020 in 12 schools have been made at Hanisch Bakery, Hanish said.

“It started as an idea to support our alumni here in Red Wing, but the idea grew and blossomed. We accept donations because 12 schools and 800 cakes is a lot of baking!” - he joked.

Acknowledging that making the cakes was a "selfless effort" for employees, Hanisch called the support from the local community "absolutely amazing."

Although the times are not easy now, the baker hopes that free cakes will encourage high school students to celebrate their achievements and look forward to a bright future.

“Life can get you down sometimes... but this is a way to show graduates that their community will support them now and in the future,” Hanisch said.
