Kimberly: One of Our Bakers Dedicated to Receiving an Icing Smile!

On her journey to cake, Sugar Angel Kimberly Hennan was feeling tired of her stressful job. She was rarely feeling fulfilled or accomplished, and wanted to express her creativity. Feeling this way about her day job, she decided to try something different.

Kimberly decided that she would create her first ever cake for her Godson, designing it around a Lego theme. In cake, she found what she had been looking for: a way to channel her creative side and find an outlet to relieve stress from her day job. Not only was the feeling of being creative and fulfilled rewarding, the expression from her Godson was even better. When he received his cake, he went WILD!

After making her Godson’s cake, she wanted to become a Sugar Angel. She wanted to provide special, tailor-made cakes to the brave kids that face illnesses. She also finds it rewarding to see how appreciative the kids are when they receive their cakes. With this in mind, pulling all-nighters to create the perfect cake makes it all worthwhile.

Kimberly’s latest cake was created for Icing Smiles recipient Gabe. Gabe is a HUGE Fortnite fan. His mom described him as living and breathing the game! Knowing that Gabe was such a huge Fortnite fan gave Kimberly a bit of anxiety. She wanted to make sure that Gabe would love his cake. She also wanted to make sure that he would be able to recognize all components, theme and figures on the cake. In order to make this cake perfect, she did research on the game. She also asked her nephews all about the game. They even showed her how to play!

While playing the game, Kimberly paid special attention to her nephews’ reactions. She noticed that their most positive reaction came from the llama piñata! So Kimberly made sure that the llama piñata was one the aspects of the cake that stood out the most.

Kimberly’s dedication to learning the game of Fortnite in order to produce this amazing cake that made Gabe go wild makes Icing Smiles SO proud to have a Sugar Angel like her!
