Celebrate with a Baby’s first birthday Cake Smash! I have been having a total blast with cake smashes in the last few months, and I just wanted to share my joy with you. I get such a kick out of the HUGE difference between all of the kiddos I have in studio. Each birthday boy & girl is so different when they first encounter the cake, and it is so fun to see their brains figure out that they have PERMISSION to dig in. Some literally dig in, some delicately dip a finger, some try to toss the cake, some crawl through it…while Mom, Dad, and I LAUGH the entire time. What an amazingly fun way to celebrate surviving the first year (as parents) and turning ONE YEAR OLD. The best part? I clean it all up! Here are a few highlights from my last few cake smash sessions. Enjoy!
Due to potential allergy issues, I have mom & dad bring along the cake to a cake smash. Through my MANY smashes, I have learned some great tips for the perfect smash cake. If you are making your own cake, a super moist cake is best. It will break apart easily, and baby can tear off chunks…which makes for great photos. Pound cake can be trick for babies to dig into. I recently had a mom bring in a cake from Fred Meyer (which cost her less than $5!), it small, moist, and had a whipped frosting. She had them custom make the cake, with custom colors and decorations. It was PERFECT.
