Smash Cake Photography
Cake smash ideas for photoshoot.
Giving a one-year-old a small cake with the freedom to smear and taste sounds crazy, right? Well when you see the photos, you'll understand. Start with an area that can easily be cleaned and decorate with balloons, banners, streamers, etc. Step back and survey to be sure it is free of any clutter that you may not want in the pictures. How to dress baby for a cake smash? There are so many girl and boy outfits available that it will be hard to choose.

The cake is typically a mini of the big birthday cake, but large cupcakes work well also. White cakes and lighter colored frostings work best, since darker colors may look like dirt or red could look like blood in the pictures.

Cake plates.
For safety's sake, use wooden or metal cake stands and don't stress over whether it's holding a homemade or store-bought cake...no one will know when it's smashed to pieces. Take a look at these cake plate options that are delicate and as sweet as can be.

Birthday number 1 balloons.
Displaying a number 1 balloon that is 40 inches tall will command a lot of attention. Remember to fly balloons out of the reach of small children as they are considered a choking hazard.
