This is a Sponsored Post. All opinions are 100% my own. I think a cute Smash Cake is a 1st Birthday Party Must-Have!
I love 1st Birthday Parties! My favorite moment of the party is the Smash Cake!
We really don’t let our kids have sugar before their first birthday, so the Smash Cake is usually the first dessert they ever get. For my daughter’s party this summer, I made an Ombre Smash Cake to match the Party Cake that I made. This cake was specifically for her and her hands to get messy! She loved it!
She was relatively clean. That might be because her mommy is a bit OCD. Anyway, she had a blast!
