Leon Turns One…
Stuck on what to do for that special First Birthday? Be stuck no more. I have the answer. Book a Cake Smash Session with ME!!
Cake Smash sessions are currently my favourite Sessions, ask me again in a month and I’ll change my mind. I’m a woman, I’m indecisive. It’s what we do… right?
Cake Smash Sessions allow me to be creative and plan different themes. So far I have not done one cake smash even similar to the next, there are so many different options and different designs and colour themes to choose from. This is what makes them my favourite, the variety. I have sooo many ideas in mind, so if you really are unsure then ask me for some I would LOVE to design, I have a list of ideas I would like to try & if you choose one of these you also receive a further 10% off.
Back to Leon’s Session….I have had a Mickey Mouse Cake Smash outfit for a while now, and when I spoke to Leon’s Mum, Leigh I was telling her of the outfits I have and I like to send clients a photograph so they can see if there is anything they like, Luckily Leigh fell in love with the Mickey Set, I was ecstatic as I have been waiting a while to use this one. Straight away she knew that was what she wanted and I was super excited to use the set & plan the Cake Smash around the colours Red, Yellow, Black & White.
I have over 8 Boys & 8 Girls outfits to choose from for Cake Smash Session’s, I am constantly building my collection up so if you have an idea in mind or a particular colour scheme don’t be afraid to tell me and we will find the perfect outfit together for your little one’s First Birthday.

Leigh loved the idea of putting Mickey Mouse ears onto Leon, so I found the perfect little set that fitted perfectly. We always think kids will pull the hat/ears/headbands off but once they have cake in front of them, trust me.. they don’t even notice!!
When you arrive at my studio for the Session I have everything set up. We start by taking some photographs of the Birthday Boy/Girl on their own, and then we can include Parents & any siblings too. After these formalities have been captured, the CAKE comes out…mmmmmm.

My Cakes are made by Laura at Laura’s Beautiful Bakes, just for you, I pick the Cake up on the day of your session so it is fresh and ready to be smashed and eaten. Laura works to your colour scheme and your theme, there are many options when it comes to the cake and again this is something we will discuss and you have input on. Nothing within your session is decided for you, every single detail is passed by you, discussed and made together. Leigh & I went back and forth with a few Cake ideas, and I sent them to Laura and she did not disappoint.

Some Children do take some time to dig into the cake so we might give them a helping hand with our amazing small wooden spoons, Children ALWAYS love these spoons and they make for adorable pictures too. Leon was not shy and he took no time at all to dig into his tasty cake. It’s time to get messy Mum, do not wear your best clothes because I can tell you now, just like Leigh you WILL be covered in cake, I encourage parents to have a taste to show your little bundle that it is OK to eat the cake and it IS very very very TASTY!!!!

Leon loved his cake, if we let him, I think he would have sat there for hours and ate the whole thing. HOWEVER we don’t actually let your babies eat and smash at the cake for anymore than 10 to 15 minutes, I don’t want them being sick as much as you don’t and so I have found that 15 minutes is long enough to capture the cutest photographs and the best smiles along with all the mmmmm’s. It might not seem like a long time, but it’s lengthy enough for everything we need.
Now the part that makes every single parent excited… if your child doesn’t eat every last bit of their delicious cake, which I can’t promise they won’t smash it all, Laura really does make Beautiful Bakes, if there is any cake salvageable you get to take it home. Have you read better news? YOU GET THE CAKE HOME!!!

So don’t delay and Book your Cake Smash Session today. Capture the memories. Be in the moment & enjoy some delicious Cake too.
