Hi everyone! We are so excited to be getting back to creating cakes next month. After some time off from making cakes and taking some time to enjoy my newborn baby girl, we are starting things up again! I want to take a moment to thank you all for your patience. I have recovered from surgery and had lots of snuggle time with my princess and I am so itching to get back into the kitchen to make some awesome cakes for our heart kiddos!
We have a lot coming up this month and some really fun themed cakes like a Frozen theme and Monsters University!
Last year we brought 300 cupcakes to the Hope in Grace fundraiser and we are so excited to be bringing back more this year! We raised over $700 for the Grace Doffin Pediatric Heart Research Fund last year and we are pumped to do it again this year!
So what’s Hope in Grace all about? Well last year I connected with A fellow heart Mom, Jaclyn, and she told me about her baby girl who’s name is also Grace. Grace was born with hypoplastic right ventricle with tricuspid atresia, pulmonary atresia, and aortic transposition. Basically Grace’s heart was not able to effectively pump blood to the lungs to get oxygen. She lived 10 months with her two other siblings, yes triplets, and I have made a bunch of cakes for this wonderful family and love that we can participate in this event every year! Grace is still living on through this organization that’s raising money to support pediatric cardiology research at the University of Minnesota and to promote excellence in education in the field of neonatal and pediatric medical care. So please support this cause and come out for some Cakes From Grace cupcakes as well! To find out more about Hope in Grace and to sign up for the run/walk visit http://www.hopeingrace.org

I want to finish with asking you to help us out by sharing our page and this post, especially to our heart families! We want to reach out to more families to get cakes out to these awesome heart warriors. So if you know someone that has a son or daughter born with a CHD, tell them about Cakes From Grace. Our goal this year is to reach out to so many more families. Thank you! http://www.cakesfromgrace.com
