The cake smash has undoubtedly become a baby rite of passage. As soon they turn one, out comes a carefully decorated, gluten-free, low-sugar, low-sodium cake ready for them to destroy, all for the sake of a cute photo. But let’s be real here: Cake baking and decorating takes a lot of time. Was all your hard labour (or hard-earned dollars) really worth it" Do you really want to add yet another photo to a long-winded Instagram feed of babies covered in smashed cake"
Lots of moms can’t be bothered with it anymore?because why spend all that time and/or money on an Insta-worthy cake when you can just go to Tim Hortons, buy a box of donuts and stack them to make them look like a cake. Wait, what" Donuts"
Yep, donuts. When photographer Lyndsey Wright started noticing how redundant cake smashes were getting, she decided to branch out into a different dessert?and the results are pretty adorable. For one, donuts are arguably cuter than cake. They’re cheaper, too. And the mess factor is reduced compared to cake. We think Lyndsey is on to something here. Could the donut smash be the new cake smash"
