So I'm English, living in America. I've had 2 kids here but until this year, I had never heard of a "smash" cake. For those of you unfamiliar with what it is ... let me enlighten you! It's a [typically] small, like 6" cake made for a child's 1st birthday the purpose of which is to be "smashed" by the kid while the parents (or pros in the case of this cake) take pictures of a cake covered toddler! Not sure how I feel about making a cake simply to smash it up but this was an ask for a friend (and I made the party cake for the adults to enjoy too!!)
