Another Icing Smiles Cake :-)

Here is another Icing Smiles cake I delivered recently - a magician-themed cake, for an 8-yr old leukemia patient namd Oscar!:) He is sharing this cake with his brother, Isaac, who is turning 6. 

The family requested for purple, black & white colors, and the flavor eas It was all chocolate fudge! It was so fun meeting Oscar and Isaac! They are happy kids! Thank you Icing Smiles again for this wonderful opportunity to share my skills and to make children "smile"!

Winning Purple Cupcakes for Baking Expo's Cupcake for Hope contest

Hi! I entered the "Cupcakes for Hope" Contest hosted by the International Baking Industry Exposition, in partnership with Dessert Professional and the Anita Kaufmann Foundation.
This is a campaign to promote Epilepsy Awareness. 

I spent one weekend planning the flavor profile of my purple cupcakes, then baking and decorating the cupcakes. I enjoyed the process, and a lot of my family members and friends were very supportive during the contest week, and cheered me on the whole time!:-) . It was all worth it... because my cupcakes won the contest!

I would like to thank each and everyone of you who voted for and endorsed my Purple Yam Cupcakes entry to this contest. Your support is very much appreciated!

"CUPCAKES for HOPE": Leading up to National Epilepsy Awareness Month in November, the International Baking Industry Exposition, in partnership with Dessert Professional and the Anita Kaufmann Foundation, has decided to show its support and to build seizure awareness in the baking industry. Epilepsy affects 65 million people worldwide, yet it’s one of the least understood of major chronic medical conditions. Through the “Cupcakes for Hope” contest, we hope to bring epilepsy to the forefront and demonstrate the importance of understanding this condition. - International Baking Industry Exposition, in partnership with Dessert Professional and the Anita Kaufmann Foundation

Icing Smiles cake project for 7-11-13

Icing Smiles requested me to make a cake for a child named Mikey, who has an incurable brain cancer. The cake is part of the celebration for his 3rd year of still being the bubbly & fun Mikey after that day of diagnosis.

It was a fun and inspiring experience to meet and present to Mikey the cake! He was smiling, was excited to let us know that he knows all the game characters, and even named the sugar figures on the cake.

Hubby said "mission accomplished", because the cake made Mikey smile, and that is Icing Smiles' goal for every cake delivered!:-)

Miracle Mikey is such an inspiration to me.  He made me realize how important it is to live each day fully, to say thanks to each blessing we receive, and to BELIEVE in God's miracles.

Here are the links to Mikey's FB page and website and Icing Smiles website too:
