The Sweet Smiles Podcast
Where smiles are baked into every story.
Produced by Icing Smiles, this podcast shares the heartfelt stories behind the mission to bring joy to children facing critical illnesses through the power of a dream cake.
Each episode features conversations with the incredible people who make that mission possible — from volunteer bakers and families to donors, partners, and community advocates. Together, they reveal how kindness, creativity, and community come together to create moments of celebration when they are needed most.
Because behind every dream cake is a story worth sharing.

What does a cake really mean to a child facing critical illness? For Icing Smiles, it’s so much more than a sweet treat—it’s a moment of joy, normalcy, celebration, and a memory that can last a lifetime.
In this episode of the Sweet Smiles Podcast, Chelsea sits down with Icing Smiles Board President Jodie Nicholes to talk about her journey with Icing Smiles, her career in storytelling and production, and the passion that led her to become such an important part of the organization.
Jodie also takes us behind the scenes of Icing Smiles’ brand-new public service announcement, sharing how the vision came together, what it was like to help bring the story to life, and why this PSA captures the heart of the Icing Smiles mission.
A cake can’t change a diagnosis. But until there’s a cure, we can celebrate their lives.
Stay through the end of the episode to watch the new Icing Smiles PSA and experience the story for yourself. 💜
