Baby's first sugar high! If you're looking to let your baby get their first taste of sweet, delicious cake on their first birthday, you could of course do that via the traditional route — a slice of cake on a plate that they'll poke at in their high chair before realizing cake is life — or you can let them smash the crap out of a full cake and in the process become covered in frosting and crumbs. It's not the cleanest or most practical idea, but if you've ever seen photos of cake smashes [1] before, it's tough to deny just how freaking cute they are.
Ahead, check out a few adorable smash cake themes that might spark inspiration for your child's first birthday celebration. (Or, check out some alternatives to cake smashes [2], like this incredible taco smash [3].)
