Yes they are super cute and you’ll never regret having these photos to show your child once they get older. Not to mention that you can showoff to your friends who missed out on the moment.
The best age for a cake smash is typically around the baby’s first birthday. At this age, babies are usually able to sit up unassisted and have developed enough motor skills to interact with the cake. Additionally, their first birthday is a milestone moment in their life, making it an ideal time to capture their joy and innocence in a cake smash photoshoot.
However, the exact age for a cake smash will depend on the individual baby and their developmental stage. Some babies may be ready for a cake smash at 11 months, while others may not be ready until they are closer to their second birthday. It is important to consider the baby’s ability to sit up, reach for and grab objects, and the presence of any allergies or sensitivities to certain foods.
The best cake for a smash photoshoot is typically one that is brightly coloured, visually appealing, and not too sweet or overpowering in flavour. Some popular options include:
Vanilla or Funfetti cake: A light and fluffy cake with a neutral flavour, which can be easily decorated with bright frosting or sprinkles.
Smash cake: A small, single-serving cake specifically designed for smashes. They are often brightly coloured and decorated with frosting and/or sprinkles.
Fruit-filled cake: A cake filled with fresh fruit or fruit preserves, which can add a pop of colour and natural sweetness to the photoshoot.
It is important to consider the tastes and preferences of the baby when choosing a cake for a smash. For example, if the baby has a sweet tooth, a cake with a more pronounced sweet flavour might be the best choice. If the baby is sensitive to certain flavours, it may be better to opt for a more neutral cake.
In conclusion, the best cake for a cake smash will depend on individual tastes and preferences, but brightly coloured and visually appealing cakes that are not too sweet are typically popular options.
Colours
Colour wise we recommend bold colours like blue for boys and pink for girls. Red in our opinion is not the best choice as this can look like blood. Also, we do not recommend brown as that looks like you know what.
The exact origin is unknown, but the tradition has become increasingly popular in recent years as a way to celebrate a baby’s first birthday. The idea behind a smash is to capture the innocence and joy of a baby as they experience their first taste of sugar and make a mess while doing so. It is also a way to document their growth and development as they transition from infancy to toddlerhood.
They have become increasingly popular as a result of the rise of social media, as families share their photos and videos online with friends and family. Professional photographers and studios have also started to offer cake smash photoshoots as a way to capture this special moment in a baby’s life. In many cases, the photoshoot is also used as an opportunity to create custom keepsakes, such as photo albums, canvas prints, and other items that families can display in their homes.
In summary, the tradition is a relatively recent phenomenon that has become increasingly popular as a way to celebrate a baby’s first birthday and capture their innocence and joy.
