Smash cakes allow parents to create fun, memorable moments as little ones enjoy their first taste of cake and celebrate their birthday with joyful messiness. Although these cakes are often layered with frosting, fruit and sprinkles, Pilgrim’s is challenging the idea that smash cakes for kids can only be sweet.
Pilgrim’s Ultimate Nuggets Smash Cake Kit is a limited-edition savory treat that turns a kid-favorite solid food into a sensory activity with mashed potato "frosting," candles and decorative accents. The brand's Ultimate Nuggets are ready to be turned into a birthday celebration staple with this kit, which comes with step-by-step instructions for assembly.
For just $7.99, the same price as a bag of its nuggets, Pilgrim's is dropping 100 Ultimate Nuggets Smash Cake Kits that can be claimed online.
