Celebrating your baby’s first birthday soon?! Whether you’re going over the top or keeping your celebration simple, a smash cake makes a fun addition to any first birthday party! This miniature cake serves as your little one’s own personal birthday treat to “smash” and enjoy. Here are six places for smash cakes in the Birmingham area!

This Alabaster business specializes in all things cake! From birthdays to holidays and even weddings, they bake up confections for all occasions. Their smash cake features a two-layer, six-inch cake in vanilla or chocolate. Pricing starts at $18, and decoration is an additional $5. Trust me when I say their decorating skills are highly impressive! Give them a call at (205)358-7805 to place your order.
2. Edgar’s
Known for their delicious southern eats and extensive bakery case, Edgar’s is a birthday cake staple in the Birmingham area.

Order a cake for your party guests wishing your little one “Happy First Birthday,” and you’ll get a complimentary single-layer, seven-inch cake to go with it.
