So, my favorite part about cake smash sessions is that you NEVER know how it will go. I love the unknown, I love getting to know these little babies, and I just love seeing their reaction to their first taste of cake. Some babies gently poke the frosting, some babies don’t like getting their hands dirty, some babies are a little nervous about the whole thing…but THIS BABY!? This sweet little peanut DEMOLISHED her cake. Like, literally crushed it into crumbles, hoarded the crumbs into a pile and sorted through her pile o’ cake for bits of frosting.
It was so much fun to watch this little one explore, eat, SIT ON, and utterly destroy her smash cake. Bobbie from Cakes and Poppery makes the most delicious cakes (as how I know…), and the buttercream frosting she makes is to die for. Not too sweet, real butter, and so so so yummy!
Mama sent me an image of the outfit the birthday girl would wear for her session (coral and mint, “Wild One” onesie, SO CUTE!) so we designed the set up and cake to match her outfit. I just love the coral and mint color combo, and the little woodland critters and feathers in the banner look so sweet! I don’t think I have ever seen a baby so very in love with cake, as I mentioned not all babies love the cake part of their cake smash. I love how their little personalities shine through during these sessions, and I will tell you that I have YET to have a baby that didn’t love the bubble bath after their cake!
Also, that wink at the end. Nailed it!!
