Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a smash cake?

A smash cake typically involves encasing the top of a decorated cake in a hardened chocolate, isomalt, or toffee dome. Fill the hollow dome with lollies, chocolates, or small sweets before sealing. Guests then use the wooden mallet to smash through the shell to reveal the hidden surprise inside. The dramatic reveal makes for fantastic party photos and memories.

What can I fill a smash cake with?

Popular fillings include mini M&Ms, Skittles, gummy bears, small wrapped chocolates, and sprinkles. For a more theatrical reveal, mix several different lollies for a colourful cascade effect when the shell is cracked. Browse our sprinkles and decorations range for inspiration.
