She's not mine, but I pretty much planned her birthday party (because my sister let me) so I'm posting it anyway. For a limited time anyway if this PiP works:
I asked my sister what she wanted the smash cake to look like - like what was the baby into - and her response was, "ummmm....she's one. She likes cherrios and her ducky." So I made a cherrio smash cake bigger than the kid's head. It's actually full of cheerios and unsweetened whipped cream. I was really hoping she'd splash around in it, but instead she just went straight to nomming the bowl.
ETA: aww crap it's enormous. doh. EETA: yay fixed! I finally figured that out. Go me.
P.S. I'm aware the frosting looks awful. it was really really hot in there and it was melting as I was trying to frost the cake. That's the best I could do. The actual cake looked much better.
