My Goddaughter's first birthday presented the perfect opportunity for me to test the hype of my "photog-friends", many of whom are engaged in regular, and very popular, cake smash sessions.
After quite a bit of research into wipe-clean backdrops, smash-proof cake stands and which bakery bakes the best giant cupcakes in the Eastern Suburbs (enjoyed that last bit!), I was all set to go.
We started the session with some standard portraits as I had been warned that some children may not really get into the cake smashing bit. Well, I really didn't need to worry about that with Poppy! One lick of the icing and she was away. We finished up the session with a bubble bath which was just as well given how much cake she managed to coat herself in.
And my verdict? Well, I'm a convert - they're silly and messy and basically fun. Cake smashes are certain to be added to my offering very soon.
