A Family Story
Meet my dad, Rickson, my partner in crime
A love letter to my dad
My dad had just bought a convertible and was looking forward to early retirement. A few years later at the age of 58, he was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia. As our community came together to support through his rapidly changing physical and cognitive abilities, we found that the food brands that were accessible to older people like my dad were really lacking the care and attention that could lead to innovation, and more joy. At grocery stores, we combed the aisles looking for snacks that could meet his needs - substantial nutrition profiles, enjoyable textures and user-friendly packaging that promoted agency and dignity. Nothing was worthy of bringing home.
Improved nutrition for every body
After years of witnessing first hand the difficulties older adults like my dad face in meeting their nutritional needs, I started Sun Cakes to develop snacks that promote healthy, joyful aging.
Sun Cakes carefully blends delightful flavor with essential nutrition. There were times where my dad couldn’t go outside for days at a time. He is used to getting a lot of sun. That's why we add vitamin D to our formula. Each snack is made from premium organic ingredients and packed with key nutrients like protein, fiber and healthy fats to meet daily dietary needs and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. We hope you'll enjoy them as much as we do!

With love, Rénel
