  I got a cupcake from the bakery and just used that for our smash cake.

  Harris Teeter gives you a free smash mini cake with your cake purchase.  Don't know if you have one nearby.  That's what we did.

  I made one.  I got two six inch cake pans and used boxed cake mix.  I just did white cake with vanilla frosting and decorated the bottom with pink frosting.

  I liked making it, but just to make birthdays special. I figure I can handle baking a cake once a year. I also liked being able to control the flavor and make it the exact size I wanted. I did greatly decrease the sugar in the frosting, but not because I was particularly worried about her sugar consumption, just because if given the choice, I would rather her have less. I wrote about it if anyone wants to check out the recipe. The vanilla cake was to die for.
  

  
  

        

  
  Yes, I have a blog and it's hilarious (except when it's not)

  I made DS's smash cake (a 6" round cake). It was yellow cake with vanilla icing (but it was lots of different colors so it made a mess!)

  Sugar was the least of my worries when it came to her cake smash.  It was her birthday!  I let her enjoy and have whatever she wanted.  It didn't turn out to be that much, but it was still fun!

  We did ordered from a Cakery.  Strawberry with chocolate icing.  Yummy!

  I made my own...just used box cake. IMO, for the little bit that they consume, I wouldn't worry about the sugar. It's one day.
