So what sizes do you all use to make a smash cake for a baby? Do you do 6 in? It seems big to give a baby a whole six inch cake.... I'm going to be making two (for twins) soon and I was thinking maybe I'd do a 4 inch....what is customary? And what do you usually charge for it?
i say 4" is perfect. All they're gonna do is smash it anyway.
My avatar is a smash cake but i got a little carried away with it. It weighed 8 pounds and was almost 13" tall.
If you have the wilton BIG cupcake pan you can akways fancy up 2 cupcakes. Its just for smashing and that is plenty big. HTH
I make mine somewhere between 4 to 6" in size ... just enough for the baby to get into and make a real mess ... everyone has to have pictures of that 
I made 2 M & M's for my friend's twins (Megan and Matthew). See my photo album. I used the ball cake and each got one 1/2 of the ball. They fit perfectly on their high chair tray. Of course they did not eat the whole thing - it was big enough for them to dive right in!
I think 4 or 6 x 2" would be plenty big.
I usually do a 4", but if I have enough extra batter to do a 5" or 6", then I'll do that. Only one layer, though. I think 4" is plenty big, though, especially if you're not charging for it. 
I have only did 1 and I used a 6" pan but did not fill the pan all the way to the top. It was probably about 1-1/2" and I did not put in a filling. I didn't charge for it since I actually used some batter from the sheet cake it went with so it didn't cost me anything more than my labor.
HTH
Yes hun a smash cake is the cake the baby/child would get on their highchair to smash
My daughter's 1st birthday we didn't have a smash cake but My sister gave her a really big piece and a large scoop of chocolate ice cream and it was EVERYWHERE! Her highchair had to go outside to be hosed off lol.
I'd say 4" although I've never made one myself.
Also I think the BIG cupcake pan that was mentioned was meant as the JUMBO MUFFIN PAN. Wilton has one as well as you can find them in Walmart for alot less. I paid I think $7.~ for mine and the Wilton one was almost $12.~ I think.
Good luck
