good idea? or bad idea?

Brookie-Cookie · June 2009

I want to bake a test cake in the next day or two, but I really don't need extra cake sitting around waiting for me to eat. there is a house down the street from me where 4 men live. They all have some sort of developmental disability or perhaps a brain injury. The men live together and pretty much walk around the neighbourhood or to the grocery store and back all the time. I never see any care workers there. Would it be nice of me to take the extra cake to them? I can't see that they get a lot of home baked goodies and what man doesn't like cake? On the other hand, as I don't know the extent of their disabilities I would hate to give them something that could jeopardize a specific diet.

I am totally overthinking this. I should just give them the cake.

If they're able to live on their own, I'd drop the cake off. ?I think that would be nice of you. ?My parents are always giving left over cake or whatever to their neighbors... they have 5 boys and are always happy!

I don't think it's a bad idea but just beware you will now become "the cake lady" and they will forever be wanting cake from you!

I always give what I bake to the neighbors. I would assume that there is some help in the house as well, so if there is a dietary concern, I think it will be handled.

I'm sure they would really appreciate it!

I would find out exactly what kind of group home it is. The last thing you want to be doing is bringing a cake over for the resident sex offenders.
