October 2011
Greetings!
This month I had the pleasure of visiting the Netherlands to attend the Taart en Trends cake show. It was the 5th anniversary of the event and the first time Satin Fine Foods attended, launching the Satin Ice products for sale in this new market.
It was inspiring to meet so many fine people and truly gratifying to behold such overwhelming excitement about Satin Ice. Many thanks to all those who helped to make the event a success. Welcome to our new customers in Western Europe as well as our new supplier in the region, Cake Supplies NL. I look forward to being an annual exhibitor at Taart en Trends.
Kind regards,
Kevin

Icing Smiles Holland
For us, the Taart en Trends event marked the start of our ability to expand our partnership with Icing Smiles to the Icing Smiles Holland branch. At booth #54, Icing Smiles Holland was hosting a fun raffle to raise funds entirely for the Foundation and meet new volunteers. At the booth were the first Icing Smiles Holland volunteers: Tineke Hendrikse, Grietje Schreuders, Jacqueline Ash, Dolores Schaddelee, Monica Kuhne Diederik Keepke & Sandra Manger.

ICING SMILES RYAN Ryan was 3 years old when a simple runny nose just wouldn't get better. When his condition worsened, his mom took him to the emergency room and their world changed forever. A football-sized tumor on Ryan's left lung was diagnosed as stage 2 & 3 Pleuro Pulmonary Blastoma, an extremely rare pediatric cancer. After surgeries, Ryan has had to relearn how to eat, walk, run, jump and endure months of physical therapy. Ryan has also undergone chemotherapy as a part of his treatment. While he has a long road ahead, Ryan received his last chemo treatment in August and his family celebrated with a combination 4th birthday and end of treatment party!
April Vuylsteke of Cupid Cupcakery in Fairview Heights, OH accepted her call to action and created a fun race car themed cake. Thank you April! Happy Birthday and Happy End of Treatment Ryan!
If you or anyone you know can contribute a little bit of time to help this group in any way, you'll help to create more smiles.
