FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Although choosing a lovely plump chocolate cake is very tempting, the browns and rich tones do not look good in photographs and can look like dirt or worse. Stick to neutral colours like the creams and whites of vanilla or the reds and pinks of strawberry. Big is not necessarily better; giant cupcakes are a perfect size and have the bonus of looking great on camera, facilitating a set of glorious 1st birthday cake smash photos.
Simply put, taking a cake smash photo is so much fun, and the results are often natural, capturing your baby’s exuberance and sense of adventure. The experience of creating the perfect cake smash with your baby is worth doing even without the photos, but what a lovely way to remember a day when a good time was had by all.
Although there is nothing quite like your baby’s 1st birthday cake smash, why not keep the tradition going and follow up with a cake smash on their 2nd and 3rd birthdays too? After all, you will have so much fun that you’ll want to recreate the scene time and again.
