I don't know where this trend started, but I love smash cake pictures. We did them for our LO today!
Do you have yours to share? I kinda wish she was wearing a cute outfit but clean up was easy this way.

We don't have any other than at his actually party. We didn't have a photo shoot... but I think it still worked out.

Both your LOs are so adorable!!
@thehistoryofus: I love how she's just in a diaper! Super cute. I think I want to do that for my LO

Both your pictures came out really well! Our smash cake endeavor was unsuccessful. LO was less than enthused about the idea:

We didn't do cake smash photos, just the party. My LO is so dainty though it wasn't much of a smash anyway. She took her thumb and pointer and just kept picking at the icing

These make me SO excited! I already ordered Baby Bear's smash cake. I hope she likes it. I don't allow her sweets, so she may go into sugar shock.LOL

@Thehistoryofus: omgggg took me a second to realize it was YOUR LO in the picture! Looks so professional and perfect!
My LO didn't smash her cake. She poked at it, grabbed a chunk and threw it on the floor.
@artbee: awwwww.. SO cute!

Here is one from her actual birthday. I'm glad we did the studio ones because at her party she didn't really eat any of the cupcake or dig in!

@BoogieBea: did you make or order your smash cake?

@regberadaisy: I made it. I'm not a baker by any means but it wasn't hard to make at all. It was a Japanese strawberry shortcake (basically the same as the cakes you get at a Chinese bakeries) and buttercream frosting. I did practice making the frosting ruffles ahead of time just to build some muscle memory with the piping.

@BoogieBea: wow- great job! Did you use a online tutorial for the ruffle frosting? I'm so impressed!

@regberadaisy: thanks! It was quite fun. The things that pinterest makes you want to try. I just YouTubed how to make ruffle cakes. This was the easiest since it doesn't require fondant. I've since discovered how to make roses all over the cake which is even easier to do.

@BoogieBea: YouTube, good idea! I think I'm going to attempt this too now!

@regberadaisy: How did it come out? We just bought the cake above. It was $10 which was a waste but we had fun!
