Dénia Bakery's Sweet Fundraiser for Boy with Ultra-Rare Disease
Dénia Bakery's Sweet Fundraiser for Boy with Ultra-Rare Disease
A bakery in Dénia has created a special cake to support a three-year-old boy with an ultra-rare disease. Verdú Artesanos launched the charity treat, named The best cake in the world, to raise funds for Luca’s medical care. The initiative blends local flavours with a mission to help his family cover costly treatments. Luca lives with IFAP syndrome, a condition so rare that his family spends around €70,000 each year on research and care. His parents have campaigned for years, using social media and fundraising to spread awareness.
The cake draws inspiration from Luca’s favourite things: popcorn, caramel, and a balloon. It is now on sale at Verdú Artesanos in Dénia and through an online shop delivering across mainland Spain. All profits will go directly to IFAP syndrome research and Luca’s treatment. The campaign runs until June 19, with backing from local businesses and residents in the Marina Alta region. Organisers hope to widen its reach through partnerships with restaurants and influencers.
The initiative aims to raise vital funds while shining a light on rare diseases. Customers can buy the cake in-store or online until the campaign ends. Every purchase will contribute to Luca’s ongoing medical needs and research efforts.
