Now for the fun party of any cake smash, to bring in the cake and let your little one enjoy!
Tips for your Cake Smash
- Be sure to set up the cake smash in an area of your home that gets lots of light. This will help with the photos.
- Take a few test photos before the cake comes out. This will help you set up the camera before the mess begins.
- If your little one is hesitant at first, dive in and help them out. Trust us, after one bite oft he cake, they will be going back for more.
- Grab a short video too. The photos are great, but a little video will create a more lasting memory!
