Sweet Surprises for Big Hearts: Kristina Lavallee Celebrates Volunteers Week with Big Brothers Big Sisters Tampa Bay

Kristina Lavallee with the Team at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay

At The Cake Girl, we believe that small gestures can make a big difference—and that’s exactly what happened during a recent Random Acts of Sweetness surprise.

To celebrate Volunteers Week, our founder Kristina Lavallee paid a special visit to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay, showing up with a delicious delivery of sweet treats and big smiles.

This surprise was more than just cupcakes—it was a heartfelt thank-you to the incredible volunteers who give their time, energy, and love to empower the next generation. Kristina has always believed in the power of mentorship and community, so recognizing those who serve as Bigs in our local area was the perfect match for this Random Act of Sweetness.

Seeing the reactions of the team—smiles, laughter, and a few happy tears—reminded us why we do what we do. It’s not just about baking amazing sweets; it’s about spreading joy, celebrating kindness, and uplifting those who make our communities stronger.

To all the volunteers at Big Brothers Big Sisters and beyond: thank you for being the heart of our community. You inspire us every day.

Stay tuned for more sweet surprises from Kristina and The Cake Girl team. 💖🧁
