Your baby's first tooth is here, congratulations! In Saudi Arabia many families mark the moment with a sinnoniya (سنونية): a small first tooth party with the family, soft décor and a cake that reads «نون نون طلع له سنون» ("noon noon, the little one's got a tooth!"). Here's how to plan it step by step, the ready first tooth cake at Avon Cake, short messages that fit on a cake, and when to order so it arrives on time.
What is a sinnoniya?
A sinnoniya is a simple family celebration for a baby's first tooth. It doesn't need a big setup: parents, grandparents and siblings, a small table with the cake, and a few photos your little one can look back on when they're older. The classic line for the occasion is «نون نون طلع له سنون», and many families write it right on the cake.
Simple first tooth party ideas
Colours and décor
- Colours: white with one soft colour: pale green, sky blue for a boy, or pink for a girl.
- The cake table: put the cake in the middle, surrounded by photos of your baby from the first month to the day the tooth appeared.
- Balloons: for a girl's party, add 3 Pink Helium Balloons to your cake order and the décor is done.
Timing
- Keep it short: pick a time when your baby is awake and settled, so the photos turn out well.
- Delivery slot: choose the slot that ends before the party starts: morning (9am–2pm), afternoon (2pm–7pm) or evening (7pm–midnight).
A short invitation
A message for the family group chat (change the parts in brackets):
Noon noon, (Noura) has her first tooth 🦷 Join us to celebrate on (Thursday) at (5pm) at (the family home).
The ready-made first tooth cake
The First Tooth Cake («كيكة نون طلع سنون») is made for a first tooth party: a round cake in soft pale green with a smiling cartoon tooth wearing a crown, with wings and a magic wand like a tooth fairy, surrounded by little stars.
- Writing: «نون نون» above the drawing, and your baby's name with «طلع لها سنون» ("has got a tooth") below it. You type the name in the name field on the product page; writing is optional.
- Sizes: 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch (12 inch must be booked a day ahead).
- Fillings: cream, Nutella, berry, lotus and pistachio. You choose the cake flavour (such as chocolate) on the product page.

Calendar topper: put the date on the cake
Want the cake to keep the date? The Calendar Tagressa is a cake topper shaped like a calendar page. You pick Gregorian or Hijri, then the month and the day. Use the day the first tooth appeared or your baby's birth date, and the cake photo looks like a page from their baby album.
