Cupcakes with Compassion 2026 is here 💜
New PODCAST (May 2026): V101.9 interview with JD
Vanessa Sencherey, owner of Sweet Pavilion, gifts women who have experienced child loss in the last year with a free box of 4 cupcakes. The first Mother's Day after she lost her first son was incredibly difficult and she has purposed to spread some light and love to those experiencing similar situations. It is hard to believe that this is the 5th year for Cupcakes with Compassion! Over the last few years, we have received so many amazing and heartfelt testimonials about the impact these cupcakes have had.
You are seen, you are heard and you are not alone. If you are grieving the loss of a child, or know someone who is, please fill out a short form by clicking the link below.

Cupcakes will be delivered on Friday 5/8 and Saturday 5/9 to the neighborhoods listed below and surrounding areas. To successfully deliver these cupcake boxes, we will need to receive all responses by Wednesday 5/6. The goal is to reach 30 women who could benefit from a sprinkle of joy during what might be a challenging time.
