A fake cake that’s good enough to (fake) eat!

If you’re planning that picture‑perfect, once‑in‑a‑lifetime cake smash for your little one, but don’t want to deal with the mess (or sugar high!) that comes along with cake <OR you have a picky eater or sensory sensitive baby that won’t appreciate sticky fingers> this post is for you! You don’t have to choose between amazing photos and a sugar crash. We have invested in several realistic, beautiful faux cakes that look just like the real thing. See blow for links to purchase!

1. Photo‑Ready, Mess‑Friendly Cakes

  • Zero Sugar, All Style
    Our faux cakes photograph beautifully under lighting and hold up to enthusiastic smashing, with no sticky residue in sight! Most cakes are white or “naked” style but we do have pink and blue options.
  • Customizable to Match Your Theme
    The cakes are a hard surface so you can’t stick toppers into them. To customize the cake you can bring along items to set on the cake to give the look of a topper. Something like a small bundle of flowers for a boho theme, or a little backhoe for a construction smash. Keep in mind that the baby will almost always yank the top or right off so don’t stress too much about it.
  • Super sentimental? You can even order one of these cakes to save as a keepsake!

2. Want Those “Baby‑Eating Cake” Pics?

We know how adorable it is to capture that first frosting face‑lather—and you can still have it! Simply bring along a tub of white icing and we will dip a wooden spoon to hand to your little one at just the right moment, and voilà—those genuine sugar‑joy expressions make it into the final shots. Trust us, you won’t be able to tell the difference between the two in the final gallery!

3. Why Parents Love the Faux‑Cake Option

  • Save Time and Skip the Bakery
    Some grocery stores offer inexpensive (or even free) cake smash cakes but usually they are just not the cutest. If you are doing a grocery store cake I recommend plain white or naked style, oftentimes colors like pink and blue or white saturated and do not match the sets. If you don’t feel like spending a fortune at the bakery, this is your solution.
  • Sugar Concerns Solved
    If you’re limiting sweets, avoiding allergens, or just want a less sticky experience, our faux‑cake approach is a total game‑changer.
  • Consistent, Gorgeous Results
    Real cakes can slump, melt, or crumble in unexpected ways. Our props hold their shape—every shot looks exactly how you imagined it.

I have sources cakes from local makers, Etsy, and Amazon. A few Favorites are:
