The Cupcake Tales Foundation

Today, Cupcake Tales celebrates the incredible love, strength, and sacrifices of mothers everywhere. Whether you’re a mom, a bonus mom, a mother figure, or someone who pours love into others like a mother would—you are deeply appreciated.

We had the sweetest time at LitFest West! ✨

Watching kids get lost in the magic of storytelling during Family Storytime was such a joy. A huge shoutout to for bringing books to life and inspiring young readers with every page!

As we welcome 2025, I’m thrilled to reintroduce myself and share the heart of what drives Cupcake Tales.

I’m Terri Wise, a former news reporter turned advocate for child literacy. Through Cupcake Tales, I’ve dedicated myself to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to fall in love with reading and unlock the boundless possibilities that come with it.

At Cupcake Tales, we believe every child deserves a storybook ending—a life full of imagination, growth, and opportunity. Whether it’s through access to books, educational resources, or community support, our mission is to make literacy the foundation for brighter futures.

We’re excited about what this new year will bring: new partnerships, new opportunities to serve, and new ways to inspire young minds.

If you’re interested in supporting our mission or collaborating with us, let’s connect!

On behalf of The Cupcake Tales Foundation, I want to wish all of our wonderful families, friends, and supporters a joyful and magical Christmas!

May your holiday season be filled with love, laughter, and plenty of heartwarming stories to share and cherish.

I had the amazing opportunity to speak with the incredible teachers and staff at Rocky River Elementary School about Cupcake Tales, our nonprofit dedicated to inspiring young readers and making literacy fun for kids!

Sharing our mission and discussing how we can work together to empower students through storytelling, tutoring, and creative programs was truly a heartwarming experience.

Thank you, Rocky River Elementary, for welcoming us with open arms! 💕
