Review for Icing Smiles, Laurel, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Icing Smiles is a top notch organization. It's so much more than 'just cake'! Being able to bring a smile to a child and their family is a rewarding experience beyond anything I've ever encountered!

When I made my first Icing Smiles cake, I was SO excited! I poured my heart and soul into it. I was so moved by this little boy's story and I was proud to be able to give this gift to him. What I wasn't expecting was the fact that I got out of this gift far more than what I gave! This young boy inspired me with his strength, faith and positive attitude! Here he is fighting for his life against brain cancer, and yet he was SO happy, SO full of life, SO loving! It really puts your life into perspective!

These cakes that we make put a smile on the child's face. It impacts the family, the hospital staff, friends and other patients, too! We give them a brief moment where there is peace and happiness. The family doesn't have to stress over purchasing a cake, it's all taken care of! We truly help create memories that will last a lifetime!

I'm am blessed to be associated with Icing Smiles. What started as a simple gift of a cake has turned into a life-changing experience.

I'm proud to be a sugar angel, a state rep and the Volunteer Engagement & Appreciation Coordinator for Icing Smiles!
