How to Make — and Keep! — a Family Budget
Some clients prefer to start with a theme that they have in mind to base their cake smash on. I will then help design a set up based around a theme you have. Take a look below at some of my previous boy cake smash designs which have been based around a theme. I'm Kate and I've been a family portrait photographer since 2009.
Smash cakes are usually kid-sized for a reason, and are meant to be only for the birthday boy or girl to devour all on their own. It’s a unique take on the cake smash birthday concept, and we absolutely love it. Put them in jammies for an even more fun effect. Is there anything more sly than, well, a cake shaped just like one of the cutest woodland creatures around? This fox smash cake is a great choice for any party with a rustic theme. Believe it or not, there are hidden fruits and veggies inside this scrumptious smash cake.
Wild One Smash Cake
Cake smashes are an amazing opportunity to celebrate a milestone with your little one. This session was all about this little man celebrating his first birthday! You can click to see his and others newborn pictures on Instagram. Book thousands of unique spaces directly from local hosts. After your little one has had her fun with her own smaller cake, you can slice up a completely separate, larger cake for guests.
It’s the perfect choice for a subtle nod to the fall or winter season. Whatever route you choose, you can’t really go wrong — your baby is guaranteed to have fun, and the resulting smash cake pictures will be unforgettable. If you’re looking for unique ways to ring in toddlerhood, a smash cake might be just the thing. Super chic, yet still baby-friendly, a blend of silver, gold, and bronze for the smash cake shoot is an elegant memory in the making. My studio is located in Andover, MA and I proudly photograph families in the North Shore of MA, Greater Boston and Southern NH areas.
Cake Smash Theme Ideas
Food blogger Christal Sczebel of "Nutrition in the Kitch" shares the recipe over on her blog, which includes unsweetened almond milk, coconut palm sugar and grated carrots. Best of all, it’s gluten- and dairy-free, a good choice for little ones with food allergies. Lean into a bee-themed party with a smash cake reminiscent of a hive and decorated with tiny edible bees. The whole party is sure to be buzzing about it. If you’re ringing in not just one first birthday, but two, a Thing 1 and Thing 2 theme is ideal. Not only is the color palette gender-neutral, but each child will get their very own cake to destroy (how fun is that?).
Milestones and cake smashes can be set up with any theme you so choose. The props, backgrounds, colors, and outfits make the whole theme pull together… so to make it as easy on you mamas as possible. Additionally, my studio offers a large variety of sweet outfits for you babe.
A neutral color palette and easy background of just balloons make for a classy cake smash photoshoot you’ll never regret. Themes are great, but sometimes we all need a break from them, and this simple styling idea can grant you just that. Equal parts boho and glam, this fun smash cake idea works for a baby boy or girl. Bring in oversized faux greenery, an ombré effect in shades of green, and plenty of pops of gold. The muted twinkly lights in the background are subtle perfection.
You can’t go wrong with lots of white … add in the pastels of your choice from blush to sky, and watch the shoot come together effortlessly and beautifully. If none of the above appeal, then you can bring along a cute romper, a set of dungarees, or perhaps just a pair of denim shorts. These clients brought along their own outfits…. Join thousands of hosts renting their space for meetings, events, and photo shoots.
Save the day, or at least make it extra-delicious, with a theme of epic proportions like this Batman setup for the cutest little guy. These parents took an ice cream theme and ran with it... You can spin this more masculine with blues or greens, brighten it up with bolder hues, or make it flavor-specific (mint chip would be amazing!).
The moment she does, Mom, Dad, or any other photographer who’s on-hand can capture the moment in all its Instagram-worthy glory. Like the setup but a sand colored floor would be better...and a RED anchor.
Buy or make a fun airplane topper to make the cake look like layers of blue sky. Give your little princess or prince the royal treatment with a smash cake topped with — what else? This woodland-inspired cake is so creative — it looks just like a birch log. For even more fun, top it with some forest-dwelling animals, like bear, fox and deer figurines.
My specialty is newborns, babies and children. My style is clean and whimsical and I am a detail person. This duo (for twins!) may have the precision of a pro baker’s touch, but it’s a look that’s totally doable to take on yourself. Customize it with any flavor and color scheme of your choice — the sky’s the limit. This pint-sized smash cake boasts beautiful fruit and aromatics.
Let’s just hope your little princess turns the cake this epically on its head for a glam-gone-messy scene you’ll treasure forever.
