Stillbirthday Cakes

Have your baby’s name frosted onto an Angel food cake.

A pregnancy loss is still a birth – and is still a birthday.

We parents still revisit the special, tragic day our baby was born, whether they died before or after birth. An “Angel” food cake with the zero candle honors the reality of our children.

After your baby’s stillbirthday cake is frosted and photographed, it will be donated to Alexandra’s House, a Perinatal Hospice facility (the families at Alexandra’s House are then able to refrost them and use them to honor their own children. Learn more about the process of carrying to term with a fatal diagnosis, and about Alexandra’s House and their important program). If you have stillbirthday siblings, you can recieve an additional photo of their cakes together (just let me know in the comments when ordering). You also have the option to have angel wings in your photo, made by Personalized Custom Creations. A recommended 10 letters maximum for each cake ensures proper spacing (first names only). Your photo will then be emailed to you. Orders are not guaranteed for certain days; please allow two weeks to receive your email.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

— Paulo Coelho

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.

— John Calvin
