Cake Smash!

Cake Smash Sessions  

Due to limited booking, we are only offering sets that we currently have in our inventory. Feel free to let us know what theme and/or color scheme and we will let you know if we have it. If for some reason we cannot meet your theme we do offer local referrals.  Our cake smash session includes a smash setup and a hand-designed cake by our local baker.  Contact us to book your session today! 

Custom Cake Design 

Cakes are provided by our local baker and are included in your session fee.  Contact us to discuss specific themes and colors you want to be included in your session!  Cake Smash sessions should be booked at least three weeks in advance to give our cake maker time to craft the perfect cake. Cakes are made of buttercream frosting and yellow cake. Our baker does not use any fondant as it can present a choking hazard. Buttercream also smashes very well! If your baby has any type of food allergy we do ask that you bringing your own cake as a safety precaution.

Cake Smash Frequently Asked Questions

* Do I get to keep the cake after the smash?

​

Heck Yea!  The cake is yours to keep after the session.  On the more common occasion, that baby doesn't actually want to eat the cake,  Dad (or Mom) can take it home for dessert later.

*Is there someplace to clean up after the cake smash?  

​

Yes.  We have wipes and a towel in the studio but everyone has access to a restroom and sink if needed.  

*How long is a cake smash session? 

​

Most cake smashes sessions last 30-45 minutes. 

* Why is this session only 45 minutes?

​

Based on lots of experience babies lose interest quickly. They will only take being picked up and put back in a spot for about 30-45 minutes, before getting really angry.

*Is the cake included?   

​

Yes, cakes are included in your session fee.  You can, however, provide your own cake, and you will receive a discount if you provide your own cake. In the event that your little has an allergy, we require that parents bring the cake to ensure no contamination.

*Do I need to bring anything for the smash?

​

We ask that parents bring a sippy cup or bottle that Baby can drink in between bites. The sweetness & frosting can make Baby thirsty. We also suggest bringing cheerios or puff snacks just in case Baby is not interested in the cake, these snacks can be put in the cake to achieve the shot of Baby digging in.

*Can I bring outfit changes? 

​

Absolutely!  Most clients bring 2 outfits, one for before the smash and one for the smash. We do ask for no more than 2 changes as it can make a little one irritated and we don't want a mad smasher.  The actual cake smash can be done in an outfit of your choosing or just a simple diaper cover....it is all up to you.  

*Are family shots included in a cake smash session? 

​

If we do, this portion is quick and takes place at the beginning of a session. It is typically done on a solid-colored backdrop from the waist up. At this age, interest wears out fast! When we get to the cake smash portion, it's just for baby by themself.

*How far in advance should I book a session? 

Cake smashes are very limited.   Contact us to check availability for your smash session! 

*Anything else we should know?

​

Please DO NOT schedule any well-child immunization appointments the week and even the day of the scheduled sessions. Immunizations will likely cause an unhappy smasher. 

Mom & Dad or whoever will be baby wrangler should bring an extra change of clothes. Cake smashes are fun but can get messy!
