What is a smash cake?

I've been asked what is a smash cake? Its the cake that you give to a 1 year old on their birthday for them to dig into and enjoy - its a great photo opportunity.

Simply Sweets offers 3 options for smash cakes - a 1 shaped cake, a jumbo cupcake and a single layer 6 inch round. We decorate the smash cake to coordinate with cake or cupcakes.

We'd love to see photos of your kids digging into their smash cakes - post a link in the comments section to share!

Here's a photo of my son enjoying his first birthday cake:
