Mission
What Sugar 4 Smiles aims to achieve is giving all children the feeling of cutting their very own birthday cake. From what I can remember, my fondest memories while growing up were always my birthday. Cutting my own cake, blowing out those candles, and enjoying the love and warmth of my family. A simple non-perishable kit that includes a pan, cake mix, icing, a can of Sprite, birthday candles, and a card is all it takes to get these kids the feeling they deserve. Although small and straightforward, this provides a spark of joy and family bonding for these kids.

Inspiration
This past year I have picked up a new found passion for cooking. I believe cooking in the kitchen with your loved ones serves as an unique bonding experience, and can bring families closer together. Social interaction occurs around the kitchen, and I feel that giving children a cake to bake on their birthday will create a sense of joy that can be shared and remembered for years to come.
Everyone deserves a cake
Could you imagine the feeling of not being able to blow out candles on your birthday? No child should have to experience a birthday without this opportunity.
