About Sprinkle Project
The Sprinkle Project gives children and youth in state and foster care free custom desserts for birthdays, graduations, achievements, new homes, new jobs, and other milestones. In San Antonio, caregivers can request personalized cakes, cupcakes, cookies, cake pops, or cookie cakes, while a quick voucher option helps when a celebration comes together at the last minute. Your support helps make sure these occasions are marked with care, not missed.
The Sprinkle Project focuses on a small but meaningful detail of belonging: a dessert chosen for a child and made for their moment. Its custom requests and quick vouchers give children in state and foster care a way to celebrate, even when there is little time to plan.
