I let him enjoy his first cake experience at his birthday party. He had a birthday brownie on his actual birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cake-smash-yay-or-nay#post-1137205 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 20:16:25 +0000 lawbee11 1137205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cake-smash-yay-or-nay#post-1137172 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 20:00:08 +0000 mrsmate 1137172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Having grown up poor, I just can't get behind anything that is about wasting food on purpose, no matter how cute the results.

Plus, babies look cute EVERY time they have food all over them (: I don't think doing it before hand will take away from the cuteness if you let them dig into their actual birthday cake on the big day too (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cake-smash-yay-or-nay#post-1136835 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:41:27 +0000 BananaPancakes 1136835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did a quick one at the end of his 1 year photos. I don't know if I would have had a photo shoot just for a cake smash, but they did turn out cute. And we had his pics done the week after his party, so he had already done his real cake smash then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cake-smash-yay-or-nay#post-1136822 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:37:36 +0000 chopsuey 1136822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didnt do one and won't do one for DS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cake-smash-yay-or-nay#post-1136818 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:36:33 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1136818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nay.

I'm torn on whether or not to do the cake smash (which would be in addition to doing outdoor photos of a more "lifestyle" nature). </p> <p>If you did cake smash photos, do you love them? Do you think they're worth having? I know they usually come out SO cute, but I don't know if they're something we really need... </p>
