You’re right. Mr Squishy sure is cute. Adorable actually. I hope he has a wonderful birthday with lots of mess!

My husband’s family has always done a smash cake for the one-year-olds (though they don’t call it that). I don’t do a full-size one but a small personal one. I use my two-cup Pyrex glass storage bowl and it seems just the right size. Then I bake the rest of the batter in a 9 x 13 pan and frost it for everyone else. The tradition is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting so the baby gets good and messy. It’s fun. 🙂 I’ll have to show the watermelon cake to my almost-seven-year-old…she might want that for her birthday next week. Thanks for sharing! I’ve seen those before but haven’t been brave enough to try making them. But if you tried it and liked it I may give it a shot. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to deb c. Looks like we need to get a dog! That sounds so cute and what a fun tradition. I'm king of wishing I would have done it with the other kids!

Now I know what kind of birthday cake to make my sister who has to be gluten-free! Never in a million years would I of thought of this! My mom made all of us a smash cakes for our first birthdays…..I carried on the tradition with my own kids and took a roll of 36 pictures in nothing flat. I put the dogs in charge of clean-up duty for both the floor and the kid!
