Help me and other Icing Smiles Sugar Angels Bake a Difference!

I've been asked once again to have the honor of being an Icing Smiles Sugar Angel and creating and donating a birthday cake for a little boy in Dayton battling a serious illness. For those of you who do not know what Icing Smiles is or does, I've attached a short description below. My husband and I were blessed with two healthy daughters and I always feel such a big honor to fulfill these cake requests. Join me in supporting kids dealing with critical illness. Let's support good in the world and make a difference for a deserving child. Help me for Icing Smiles! Cakes by Retta will not be accepting any of these funds, all will go to Icing Smiles.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Icing Smiles. Thank you for Baking a Difference with me!

Icing Smiles is a nonprofit organization that provides custom celebration cakes and other treats to families impacted by the critical illness of a child. We understand that the simple things, like a birthday cake, are luxuries to a family battling illness. Our goal is to create a custom cake for the ill child, or their sibling, that provides a temporary escape from worry and creates a positive memory during a difficult time.

Memories have magical powers. Long after the cake is gone, the memories linger – memories of the kindness of a stranger, of the art of the design, of the sweet smells of a special treat, of the smiles and laughs, of a normal childhood experience so often stolen from these children. These memories are why we say, "It is so much more than a cake."

We are not a bakery, as a matter of fact, Icing Smiles doesn't even have an oven! We rely on a generous team of volunteers spread throughout the U.S. to fulfill our mission.

We are Baking a Difference®.
