Im just excited and wanted to share. My daughter is turning 1 and I wanted to make her a healthy(ish) smash cake. Her party is bee themed. I’m not a baker, and certainly not a cake decorator, but I’m so proud of this. The cake base is vanilla sweetened with dates and bananas (yes it tastes like banana bread) and the Swiss merengue buttercream (lower in sugar than traditional buttercream) is made with aquafaba, sugar, cream of tartar, and vegan butter. I used turmeric and black cocoa powder to color the buttercream. My mom made the vegan white chocolate honeycomb with white chocolate and silicone molds.

    This looks awesome! Does a smash cake mean it gets smashed rather than cut lol? It’s so pretty & your description sounds delicious! Hope your daughter loves it & has a great birthday 🎂
