Messy, adorable, and unforgettable! Smash cake sessions capture the pure curiosity of your baby turning one.

1. Choose Soft Soft-Piped Whipped Cream

Avoid hard fondant or dense buttercream! Soft whipped cream frosting is easy for tiny hands to squish and mess around with.

2. Vinyl Backdrop & Floor Mat

Place a seamless vinyl floor mat underneath your balloon hoop setup so cake mess wipes clean in seconds without carpet stains.

3. Post-Smash Milk & Bubble Bath Photos

Have a warm milk bath or bubble tub ready for instant clean-up photos — the splash session yields the cutest candid smiles!
