Icing Smiles is an amazing non profit organization that provides custom celebration cakes and other treats to families impacted by critical illness of a child. Their goal is to create a custom cake for the ill child or their sibling that will provide a temporary escape from worry and create a positive memory during a difficult time.
I contacted Icing Smiles about doing Aidan's cake this year. I was in Philadelphia with Jacob last year and was unable to be with him on his birthday. I really wanted this year to be special for him. He has had to deal with so much this last year and has been amazing through it all. I am so proud of him. I received an email from Rose at Icing Smiles the same day I emailed them and was blown away by the fact that she not only said they would find someone for Aidan's cake but they also wanted to get Jake a cake.
There is nothing in this world better than this smile! Sara Lane (WV Cake Lady) of Custom Cakes, llc designed a beautiful cake for Jacob and I can't thank her enough for helping us celebrate this major milestone for our little miracle. Jacob loves Jungle Junction so we decided to have the characters on a brightly colored "Topsy-Turvy" style cake. Here are some pictures of Jake enjoying his delicious cake and 1st birthday celebration.
