Preparing for Your Baby’s First Birthday Session
To ensure a smooth and successful cake smash session, here are a few tips:
- Schedule Based on Baby’s Nap Time
We recommend booking your session when your baby is usually happiest — typically after a nap and feeding. - Confirm No Cake Allergies
Make sure your baby has tried key cake ingredients beforehand (like eggs, wheat, and dairy) to avoid any reactions. - Bring Dry Snacks
Puffs or small solid snacks can help if your baby needs encouragement. Avoid messy or wet foods like mashed fruit. - Towel for the Tub
If you’re adding a bubble bath session at the end, bring a towel to wrap your little one up afterward. - Be Ready to Join In
Parents may need to help demonstrate cake smashing or encourage smiles. Wear casual outfits you don’t mind getting a bit messy if needed!
