Cake Smash & Birthday Portrait Questions
+ How do I choose a theme? What themes do you offer?
We offer bespoke Cake Smash Portrait Sessions, which means we design every set-up for each customer. If you don’t have a theme in mind, think about your child’s favourite colours, characters or toys. Have a think about your favourite childhood characters, or if you really can’t think of anything we suggest that you google or search Pinterest for “boy or girl cake smash themes’. We also have an extensive range of themes on offer, you may like to use a backdrop or set-up that you have seen on our website or social media pages. Feel free to give u a call to discuss your vision or for assistance in choosing a theme.
+ Do you provide the cake?
We can provide a reasonably priced cake which is made by a local professional cake maker. Generally, the cakes cost between $45.00 to $80.00, depending on the style of your chosen cake, or you are more than welcome to bring your own cake. We STRONGLY suggest that you purchase or make a cake that is vanilla flavoured and has buttercream icing, not fondant.
+ Do you provide the decorations?
Yes.
+ My child has allergies, does that mean I can’t book a Cake Smash & Splash session?
Not at all. We can contact our cake maker to see if she can create a cake that is allergy friendly for your baby, or we can discuss alternatives to a cake. There are many food alternatives that we can use for a cake smash session. Alternatively, if you would like a session that is not food related, we can create a styled birthday session for you.
+ What do I need to bring?
Your baby, the cake if not using our cake maker, the outfit if we don’t have one to match your theme.
+ Do you offer bath sessions?
Yes. Every Cake Smash & Splash Session ends with a bath session in our antique-looking white claw bathtub.
+ What if my baby doesn’t like the session and cries?
We are going to let you in on a trade secret. Not all babies love a cake smash session. In fact, a lot of them aren’t too fussed on the cake. However, we have NEVER had a cake smash session where we couldn’t deliver a beautiful gallery to a family. In our minds, the cake smash session is a story of how the baby reacted to their first big cake. So, it’s ok if the baby doesn’t smash into the cake or doesn’t want to eat the cake. If however your baby is extremely upset we can place the cake in the freezer and reschedule the session for another day, at no extra cost.
+ How long does a cake smash session take?
Usually 45mins to 1 hour.
