Dreams Come True is a charity that does exactly what it says on the tin – fulfilling the dreams of children and young people with life threatening or limiting conditions.
The charity is behind a national fundraising campaign 'Dream Tea', which encourages people to get a group of friends or family together to sit down, have a cuppa and a slice of cake – all for a good cause.
Miranda Gore Browne, who you may recognise from series one of The Great British Bake Off, is brand ambassador of the charity and has donated two simple and gorgeous recipes for the cause that are ideal for any occasion.
