Questions

Frequently asked

What is a smash cake?

A small cake made just for baby's first birthday photos, they dig in, smash it, and you capture the moment. It's sized for one baby, not for serving guests.

Can the smash cake match our party cake?

Yes. We can design a matching larger cake for guests in the same theme and palette as the smash cake.

How far in advance should I order a smash cake?

We recommend booking a week or more ahead. Rush orders with as little as 48 hours' notice may be possible when we have availability. More lead time is always better for detailed designs, so reach out as early as you can.

Do you offer gluten-free smash cakes?

Yes. Every smash cake can be made gluten-free, finished to the same standard as our classic cakes.

Do you offer vegan smash cakes?

Yes. Every smash cake can be made vegan. Let us know when you order and we'll plan around it.

How much does a smash cake cost?

Pricing depends on the size, number of tiers, and complexity of the decoration. We give you a firm quote once we know the details.
