A Community Wake-Up Call: Why Sip & Frost Needs You Now

Recently, a series of safety incidents near Stonecrest — including a mall lockdown and multiple burglaries affecting local businesses — has caused a noticeable drop in foot traffic and shaken community confidence. Our customers, families, and neighbors are seeking safe, positive places to enjoy, and small businesses like ours are feeling the impact more than ever.

Moments like these remind us how important it is for our community to stand together. Sip & Frost Cake Bar is a nontraditional bakery — a gathering place built to spread positivity, peace, and togetherness. For 3 years, our mission has always been to impact our surrounding community in a meaningful, uplifting way. Despite the recent Mall incidents and other negative we are still o mission to make impact in the lives of every person that crosses the threshold at the Sip and Frost Cake Bar.

My name is Lisa Jefferson, owner of Sip & Frost Cake Bar. Asking for help is never easy… but I’m asking because this space serves a real purpose in the City of Stonecrest.

For those of you who have experienced what Sip & Frost offers, thank you for your continued. You already know what makes us special. Sip & Frost Cake Bar is a safe haven, a creative outlet, and a community gathering space.

⭐ Our Impact: What Sip & Frost Gives to Stonecrest
✔️ Annual FREE Summer Camp for 100 Underserved Kids

Each summer we welcome 20 kids per session, one day a week for 6 weeks.
They learn:

Leadership

Teamwork

Introduction to AI

Public speaking

Empathy, gratitude, and emotional intelligence

Goal setting & vision board creation

Creative cake and cupcake decorating

This camp builds confidence, joy, and community connection.

It is powerful.
It is needed.
And it is FREE.

✔️ Women’s Empowerment Brunches

We inspire, encourage, and uplift women through fellowship, reflection, and empowerment.

✔️ Youth Development Partnerships

Through collaboration with the Tommy Nobis Academy, we help neurodivergent young adults build confidence and job readiness skills.

✔️ A Safe Community Space for Families

We host birthday celebrations, fellowships, family gatherings, bonding nights, and more — creating lifelong memories and strengthening families.

Sip & Frost is not just a bakery.
It is a place of purpose, belonging, safety, and positive impact.

⭐ Why We’re Asking for Help

Due to reduced foot traffic after the recent Stonecrest Mall lockdown and other safety-related incidents in the surrounding shopping district — combined with ongoing operational challenges — we have fallen behind on essential expenses.

We are currently behind on rent, and without support, we risk losing the space that has been serving our community with so much love.

To stabilize and continue our mission, we are raising funds to:

✔️ Catch up on rent arrears
✔️ Pay staff so we can offer consistent service
✔️ Repair essential equipment
✔️ Add kid-friendly tables and seating
✔️ Purchase supplies for our FREE Summer Camp
✔️ Strengthen marketing & operations for sustainability

⭐ Your Support Makes a Real Difference

Through Sip & Frost:

Children experience joy, creativity, confidence, and community

Women are empowered and supported

Families feel connected

Youth gain valuable life skills

Neurodivergent young adults find opportunity and encouragement

This work matters.
And we cannot continue without your help.
