Kath Ryan delivers a cake to celebrate the 100th birthday of Leonora Jeffreys, a former Doodlebug spotter during World War II in Birmingham, England, Monday, Oct. 5, 2020. Ryan is behind Cakes 4 Casualties, baking thousands of cakes for service people who have been injured, many as they recover from wounds in hospital.

“I saw them at their worst,” Ryan said. “They could barely breathe, they were in so much pain. They were like skeletons with cling film on them.”It all started when Ryan took a cake to her ill sister, who shared it with the troops. The wounded soldiers demanded their own treats, and Ryan returned with cake for 35.

And if someone’s favorite wasn’t on offer, Ryan took requests: mince pies, fruit cake, Pavlova. When Estonian soldiers ended up on the ward, she tracked down a recipe for Estonian honey cake. For a group of South Africans, she learned to make brandy tart.
