Meet the 86-year-old who has just started baking sweet treats for those in need

Ann Stanaway, an 86-year-old woman from Paeroa, New Zealand, has recently taken up baking as a way to contribute to her community. After being excluded from cooking in her home due to health issues, she discovered a new purpose through 'Good Bitches Baking,' an organization that provides sweet treats to charitable groups supporting individuals facing hardship. Her first baking session coincided with her regular stitching group, where she made a cake that didn’t turn out well but still managed to benefit a local charity. Stanaway uses traditional recipes, often passed down from generations, which are both cost-effective and popular among recipients. These baked goods are distributed to various organizations across the Hauraki region, helping support those in need during the current cost-of-living crisis.
