Smashing the cake has become a huge idea for parties and photoshoots. So what is it? Well it literally consists of a child, usually a baby between 10-18 months old, smashing a birthday cake. I tried to do some research on where it started but I couldn't find very much. In the last few years it's grown in popularity, and I can see why, it's utterly adorable!
Im working in partnership with a great children's party company called 'Little Peeps entertainment' (please check them out
here). When booking a smash the cake party with them, they provide a beautifully decorated cake, cute outfits and accessories, a vintage tub for bath pics (with loads of rubber ducks!) and of course me as the photographer.

Tips and tricks for a smash the cake:
- Get a cake with icing that is creamy, not fondant icing! Creamy icing is definitely more messy! Little Peeps provide these gorgeous cakes that are also gluten free!
- Try to introduce your baby to similar textures of the cake before the shoot. This helps them get used to how it feels on their hands so they don't freak out on the day.
- Decide what props you want to be included.
- Wear clothes you don't mind getting messy. Picking up your baby after the shoot will ensure you get covered as well!
- Use a cleanable /wipeable surface to smash the cake on.
- Keep loads of baby wipes close by!
