The perfectcake to mark your little Wild One’s first birthday! This extraordinary Moishe from “Where the Wild Things Are,” created by Utah-based The Sweet Tooth Fairy Bake Shop, is sure to amaze.
Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s book has long been an American tradition. Known for its honesty in dealing with childhood anger and frustration as well as its homey vision of conflict resolution through food, this timeless work by Maurice Sendak remains timeless today.
Style a Wild One first birthday smash cake photoshoot.
Smash cake photo shoots are an enjoyable way to capture your baby’s first year of life. Not only can it be messy fun, but you get to watch your child dig their fingers into a delicious cake while showing off their wonderful personality and adorable expressions! Being creative with the setup can add another level of enjoyment; remember it shouldn’t just be considered another random photo op – your child should feel comfortable during this memorable experience!
Selecting a theme is an effective way of unifying all aspects of your shoot, such as color schemes. Starting small and expanding can quickly result in larger themed shoots.
For instance, if your child loves Sesame Street and Cookie Monster in particular, then a Cookie Monster-themed cake would make for the ideal birthday cake. Or if princess-themed sessions are what your daughter craves, then perhaps princess-themed sessions would fit better with you and vice versa. Or for something subtler, like storybook-themed cakes, they could also work nicely as birthday party themes.
Alternatively, use the central party theme as inspiration for your smash cake design. For instance, if you’re hosting a Wild Things-themed bash, creating a cake to look like Max’s hat from the book would be ideal, or go for a more general jungle aesthetic by using greenery as the background and including fun critters like turtles in the scene.
Classic cakes can be just as beautiful as themed ones. Sugar Wish Cakes and Bakes’ pink ombre smash cake is easy to assemble, with pastel shades that blend in nicely with any theme. Or if pink is more your color of choice, consider opting for classic pink with white, silver, or gray as a smash cake combination instead.
If you enjoy watching “One Wild Year,” why not add a “One Wild Year” banner or board to your home? Doing so is an ideal way of remembering all of the milestones from your child’s journey thus far and keeping their first year close to heart.

If your little one is celebrating their first birthday, this adorable “One Wild Year” banner or board can help highlight some of their best photos from each month of their first year! Print out and mount them on wood or felt and add an adorable “One Wild Year” message!
This cake was inspired by Maurice Sendak’s book and film of the same name, both featuring two layers of chocolate with vanilla buttercream filling, piped horns and fur, toothpick anchoring the horns for realistic effect, as well as thicker coat near its chin to mimic its goatee character in the book.
Apart from an outstanding cake, this party offers many fantastic ideas – from its stunning dessert table to the splendid high chair decor! This truly makes this event memorable!
Use both wooden and paper tableware on the table. We love the idea of wrapping kraft letters with white felt and moss for an adorable sign featuring your Wild One’s name or age – adding an extra special touch by including a glittering paper crown!
Another fun idea for creating a forest backdrop is hanging a forest backdrop. You can do this easily using green and tan balloons with oversized leaves as decorations – plus, it makes a fantastic photo booth backdrop! Plus, it makes your smash cake photo shoot even more spectacular!
The movie version of Maurice Sendak’s 1963 children’s novel with a similar title by Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers was made into a 2009 fantasy adventure drama film directed by Spike Jonze and written by Jonze and Eggers; featuring live-action, costumes, animatronics, and computer-generated imagery (CGI). Reviewed positively upon its release, many year-end top ten lists included it among their list of recommended titles.
