His brother also has autism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Their mom, Jessica Galdamez, is who opened her cheesecake business, called Cakes for a Cause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Her mission is not only whipping up delicious flavors \u2013 like Guava and Golden Oreo \u2013 but to give back to the special needs community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The bake shop donates a portion of its monthly profits to organizations that support individuals with disabilities, including programs for Down syndrome and autism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s taught us a lot about life, how to be patient, how to be more caring, be more giving towards the community,\u201d Galdamez said of Logan. \u201cOur main goal at Cakes for a Cause Bakeshop is inclusion. We want the community to be able to offer the same equal opportunities for the special needs community as they do for the neurologically-typical community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Galdamez said her goal is to open a storefront and to employ people with differing abilities and show the world how capable they are.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Jackie Pascale\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/https:\/\/author-service-images-prod-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/7459247a-7a40-428f-b513-.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Jackie Pascale<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Jackie Pascale joined the Local 10 News team in July 2025 as a reporter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published:\u00a0March 24, 2026 at 7:02 PM South Florida bake shop has sweet spot for special needs community MIAMI&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":{"0":"post-205486","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-miami","9":"tag-miami-headlines","10":"tag-miami-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
