Review for Icing Smiles, Laurel, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Icing Smiles (IS) pairs specialty bakers/decorators with medically critical kids/family to provide a very, very special cake each year to these kids and their siblings. They operate in all US states, as well as Holland, UAE, Canada and are growing based on requests for services in other countries. Their Facebook page is filled with stories and photos of thousands of special moments created for these families, and also stories by baking volunteers of how wonderful their experience of serving was to them. I started as a baking volunteer and after that experience I joined to bake, work on admin tasks, whatever is needed. I've worked in non-profits for a number of years - this is hands down the best organization I've ever been involved with.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Spread the word so that every baker knows of us and can volunteer, and every family with a critical care child can be served. It is such a rewarding experience to provide a special cake for these kids, and simply an amazing organization to be a part of.
