Smash The Cake Session
Wednesday, August 13, 2025 | By: Fernanda Bautzer Photography
A Smash the Cake session is a unique and fun-filled moment to capture a baby's first birthday, and when it takes place in a neutral setting, the result is pure visual poetry.
We produced a session with a palette of soft tones: ivory, cream, and neutral nuances that brought delicacy, lightness, and a classic touch to the photos. This type of composition is perfect for those seeking something timeless, never out of style, and that enhances the baby's natural beauty.
Why choose neutral tones?
Neutral colors create a soft background that doesn't overpower the scene. They help highlight the main points: the expressions, the smiles, and the joy of discovering the flavor of the cake. Furthermore, the minimalist style of this type of setting allows the session to be harmonious, elegant, and charming, ideal for both boys and girls.
The Setting
The space was carefully designed with light wood elements, natural fabrics, and dried flowers in warm, earthy tones. Beige and cream balloons, along with a delicately decorated cake, completed the cozy and sophisticated atmosphere. Everything is designed to create a lighthearted atmosphere, yet full of personality.
A touch of sweetness
The best part of Smash the Cake is watching the baby having fun with the cake. The curious little hands, the giggles, the funny faces... All of this is immortalized with great care. And in this neutral setting, every crumb and every bit of frosting becomes even more special and photogenic.

In this session, the baby will pose first with the parents and then start having fun making a mess with the Cake and Fruits. There is still a bathtub waiting for them.

I don't provide the Cake due to personal differences in sugar, ingredients, and/or allergies.
