Buffalo Cake Smash Session

Cake smashes… Ooo cake smashes!! I don’t even know where to begin with my love for these!

Designing a setup for a cake smash is probably my favorite part because it lets my creativity flow. Even though I lean towards, and actually prefer simpler setups, there’s still a whole process behind setting it up. I have to figure out what I want the cake to be, what props (if any) that I want to use, how to setup them up, & what backdrop will look best with it all. I typically ask parents if they have a theme or colors in mind they’d like to use & go from there! I am totally open to suggestions or inspirations but usually parents just tell me do what I do best, design it!

Cake smash sessions are all about eating some delicious cake, or just smashing some delicious cake. Either or work just fine for me! But, you’d actually be surprised at how many littles don’t tear into their cake. I typically have parents help tear apart the cake to make it look like they ‘destroyed’ their cake. Some babes aren’t fans of new/different textures or even the sweetness of the cake & that is just fine! I like to refer to it as ‘fake it till we make it’. I always suggest introducing a cupcake or a frosting texture to them before the session so they aren’t so afraid of it when we plop them down in front of a cake. I do have to admit, crying cake smash images are kind of amazing too!

Don’t even fret about the clean up either! A quick baby wipe bath works just fine! Or sometimes we will have to wipe them down with a wet washcloth if they really enjoyed their cake. Either way, your little one will go home smelling like a sweet treat with some smooth skin!!
