Welcome to For My Bonus Child, where we extend our hearts and hands to every child, making them part of our broader, loving community.

Meet Gabby Cunningham: A Heart for Every Child

Hello, I’m Gabby Cunningham, the founder of For My Bonus Child and the force behind Kids' Cake Mix Cookie Mastery. My life's work as a therapeutic foster parent, pediatric nurse, early childhood educator, and homeschooling parent to neurodiverse children has been a journey of love, patience, and tailored education. Each child in my care has been my 'bonus child' - cherished and nurtured, just like my own.

Reclaiming 'Bonus Child': A Commitment to Community

The term 'Bonus Child' often brings to mind the idea of stepchildren, but at For My Bonus Child, it's much more. It's a pledge to embrace every child as part of our community, recalling a time when the responsibility for a child’s growth and joy was shared by all. 'For My Bonus Child' is about building this community - a space where every child is our responsibility, our joy, our future.

Why Cake Mix Cookies? 🍪

The journey began with a simple, shared love for cookies. What started as an innovative way to use an abundance of cake mixes became a cornerstone of our educational philosophy. At Kids' Cake Mix Cookie Mastery, we use baking as a tool for learning, exploration, and joy. It’s a way to bring children of all backgrounds and needs together - creating, experimenting, and learning in a fun, inclusive environment.

Our Inclusive Approach

Our mission is clear: create educational experiences that are accessible to all. We cater to various dietary needs, ensuring that every child, regardless of their medical, socioeconomic, or educational background, can participate and thrive. We believe in making learning a delightful, inclusive adventure.

Building a Global Family

For My Bonus Child is more than a brand; it's a symbol of our collective responsibility to nurture and educate every child. It's a community of like-minded individuals - parents, educators, bakers, and collaborators - all dedicated to the joy and growth of every child. We are committed to creating a world where every child, your child, my child, is seen, heard, and celebrated.
