Free Smash Cakes for Baby’s 1st Birthday
Here’s where you can score one for free…
Albertsons Market – Check with your local Albertsons to confirm their policy. At my local store, for example, you can get a free smash cake when you order at least a quarter sheet cake or 8″ round. If your bakery isn’t familiar with the offer, try contacting guest services! They might be able to help you lock in the deal.
Barnes & Noble – This one isn’t exactly a smash cake, but Premium Rewards members receive a free birthday treat at the Café during your child’s birthday week, along with a Paper Source craft! This perk is valid for kids 12 and under and comes with their $39.99/year membership.
Festival Foods – When ordering a quarter-inch or larger sheet cake, simply click the “Free with Cake” box and you’ll receive a free baby cake! You can even choose the flavor!
Fred Meyer – Order any bakery sheet cake (valued at $19.99), and you’ll get a free 6″ smash cake! It’s slightly larger than a Costco muffin. Choose from white or chocolate cake and whipped or buttercream frosting! Place your order 24–48 hours in advance.
