Host a Violet's Bake Sale
Bake Sweet Treats -- Raise Big Smiles
Hosting a Violet’s Bake Sale is a delicious way to Bake a Difference for Icing Smiles! Whether you prefer to gather in person or take pre-orders online, every cupcake, cookie, and brownie sold helps us deliver celebration cakes to critically ill children across the country. It’s baking with a purpose — and it’s never been easier (or more fun) to get involved!
🍪 Two Ways to Host
1. Traditional In-Person Bake Sale
Put your mixer to work, gather your friends, and set up a table at your school, workplace, or community event! Selling your homemade goodies face-to-face is a fun and interactive way to share the Icing Smiles mission and raise funds to support our families.
How it works:
-
Choose your date, time, and location.
-
Bake your favorite treats (or invite friends to bake with you!).
-
Spread the word with flyers, social posts, and more (we’ll send you a toolkit!).
-
After the sale, simply mail a check for the amount raised or donate online through our bake sale fundraiser donation page.
2. Online Pre-Order Bake Sale
Prefer to keep things virtual? Want to ensure everything you bake gets eaten and enjoyed? No problem! We’ll help you set up your own personalized online bake sale page to take pre-orders from friends and family. They order, you bake, and the proceeds support our mission.
How it works:
-
We’ll provide a custom web page you can share with your network.
-
Customers place orders and pay in advance.
-
You fulfill the orders and deliver the treats or set up a pickup location.
-
Funds raised go directly to Icing Smiles!
This is a great option for busy bakers, school groups, or anyone who prefers a low-contact approach.
💜 Why “Violet’s” Bake Sale?
This sweet fundraiser was inspired by one of our very first Icing Smiles recipients — a brave little girl named Violet. Your bake sale honors her memory and helps us reach more children with smiles when they need them most.

Violet's Story
Icing Smiles began with one hobby baker, one cake, and one incredible little girl.
That hobby baker was Tracy Quisenberry, and the little girl was Violet.
“I delivered our first cake to this beautiful 7-year-old girl. I had no idea what to expect, but I knew that the experience would define what Icing Smiles would become. She was reserved and barely spoke, yet she left a mark that motivated me to see where this journey would lead.”
