Exactly what is a smash cake? I have seen it mentioned a few times on the board.
I'm approaching that here in 2months!! 
Ahhhh, that makes so much sense now. Thanks!
I'm looking for ideas for a funky smash cake & a chocolate boyish smash cake. Anyone??
is there a party theme? try to tie it in if there is. for example, the last smash cake i did was for a winnie the pooh party, so i did a honey pot as the smash cake. (photos at www.idreaminsugar.com, they may be on cc as well, can't remember).
otherwise you can just decorate it to match the main cake.

First~ mom2owen1, I peaked at your website. Love your cakes. Your honey pot is adorable!
Second~lkoenig07, what about making the cake look like a hill or mound of dirt, put monster trucks on it or dinosaurs or animals. What does the birthday boy like? Sorry I can't help more.
It may not necessarily be a great idea for a smash cake...but I made my nephew a softball sized cake ball...not so much messiness with the BC...but he ate it...it had to be cracked for him buthe liked it...ate the ears first as it was a monkey/bear...but I belive I have pics of it...

Thank you very much! I took a look at your pics as well. The curious george cake is adorable! And I see you do cupcakes a bit. I have my first cupcake order due this weekend. What tip are you using (as on the yellow=orange-pink or the thanksgiving)? Any tricks to getting the buttercream to swirl so nicely?

Thank You!!! I use a variety of large tips but my favorite is the 1M. I learned to make my 1M swirl from the Wilton tutorial on their website. I bought the Ateco large tube set from my local Smart N Final a while back and I use those tips now too. I play around with them alot to get new looks.
I believe the pastel cupcakes are done with the 1M. If you can get the Ateco set, I would. It large star tips and large plain tips!
We already had my twins' 1st birthday party & I didn't do smash cakes, but just a cut a piece of cake for them. But a girl I know is going to take pictures of them doing smash cakes as an advertisement for me. That's why I was wondering.
So is it two boy smash cakes? Maybe do one with a sports theme and the other with a transportation theme. Or a Dinosaurs and jungle theme.
Or if it's a boy and girl maybe do a brown and pink with polka dots and a brown and blue stripped one.
I like the idea of the mountain with jungle animals or a mound of dirt with construction vehicles for the chocolate one. how about a baseball/basketball/soccer ball or football for another?
