A team of bakers who make birthday cakes for vulnerable Swindon residents is on the lookout for volunteers.

The Forget Me Not Bakers create cakes for people including Swindon Borough Council's Swindon Circles clients, residents of the Foyer, Wiltshire House and Radnor Lodge, residents of homeless hostels for young people and Culvery Court, a homeless hostel for adults in the town.
Recent works pictured here include a mouth-watering chocolate sponge baked by Ana Julia, strewn with white chocolate stars and decorated with sweet, red strawberries, and a cheeky seasonal cake made by Nikki for a resident who loves cats. 
Red bauble confections, decorated with snowflakes and silver balls, sit on top of the cake that is hidden behind the playful cat graphic.
A spokesperson said: "Our bakers have no special skills, except a love of baking! Please email the team if you're interested in finding out more about this project and become one of our star bakers."
