The popular Ballymena bakery posted on social media: “At Dougies Goodies, our motto is 'do good' and for us, a huge part of that means giving back to the amazing people in our community.
“That's why we decided to set off on a secret mission to surprise many of our local schools in the Ballymena area with a cake to thank them for the incredible work the staff have done throughout the year!
“Many of the Dougies Goodies team are parents themselves, and we appreciate more than anyone the impact teachers, classroom assistants and all staff members in schools have on our kids' lives.
"Special thanks also goes to Leah, Andy, Ross and Nicky who were part of delivering the goodies and our amazing team of bakers who made the tasty cakes.”
