Smash cakes, usually four inches in diameter, are designed to be cute and easy for tiny hands to handle. However, some parents opt for larger sizes for photo sessions. Bakers typically maintain their standard cake recipes for smash cakes, making accommodations only for allergies. Sugar content in these cakes isn’t a major concern, as most of it ends up on the baby’s hands and face.

If sugary cakes aren’t your preference, there are alternatives available. Swapping ingredients like applesauce for sugar or using alternative flours can create a healthier smash cake option. Parents can even opt for food sculptures made from the baby’s preferred foods instead of a traditional cake.
