In this episode of the Icing Smiles Podcast, Chelsea Boog sits down with longtime Sugar Angel Coral Hamner of California. Since joining Icing Smiles nearly a decade ago, Coral has created 33 dream cakes and fun cakes for children and families facing critical illness.

Coral shares how a love of baking, a few YouTube tutorials, and encouragement from her family turned into a passion for cake decorating and volunteer service. From delivering her very first Icing Smiles cake to a young boy named Jacob, to celebrating milestones like the end of chemotherapy and transplant anniversaries, Coral reflects on the families, memories, and life lessons that have shaped her journey.

Listeners will hear heartfelt stories about the impact of donated cakes, the connections formed with families, and why Coral continues to say "yes" to volunteering year after year.

Plus, she shares her favorite cake themes, decorating tips, and advice for bakers who may be considering becoming an Icing Smiles Sugar Angel.

Whether you're a baker, volunteer, or simply someone who believes in the power of kindness, this conversation is a reminder that a cake can be so much more than dessert—it can create joy, celebration, and lasting memories during life's most difficult moments.
