Cake smashes are such a fun and memorable way to celebrate your little one’s first birthday! I absolutely love helping parents plan a session that’s full of personality, color, and (of course) cake. There are endless theme possibilities, and it’s honestly so hard for me to narrow down my favorites.. 🤪
Here are some of my top picks:
🧜♀️ Under the Sea
A dreamy mix of mermaids, seashells, and ocean blues and purples makes this a magical theme for any little sea princess. Add in shimmering backdrops, bubbles, and maybe a splash of glitter, and you’ve got a photo session that’s pure enchantment.
🏎️ Formula-One (But Make It Pink!)
As an Indiana native, I can’t help but think about the Indy 500 and what a fun theme it is for a cake smash! Racing isn’t just for boys and I know there are many race fans around the Indianapolis area! Think checkered flags, pink helmets, and a cake that’s as bold as your little speedster. This theme is high-energy and so much fun to style.
🧭 Little Explorer
Perfect for the curious and adventurous baby girl, this theme features maps, globes, and vintage suitcases. Soft earth tones and floral accents bring a sweet, feminine touch to this wanderlust-filled setup. It’s a unique option that stands out from the usual!
🦋 Butterflies
Soft, airy, and full of color — butterfly themes are a classic for a reason. With pastel shades, floating butterflies, and delicate florals, this look creates such a sweet and whimsical vibe. It’s perfect for spring and summer birthdays, or just because your little one is growing her wings.
👑 Disney Dreams
Whether she’s obsessed with Minnie Mouse, Cinderella, or Moana, there’s a Disney theme for every little fan. This is such a fun way to bring a favorite character to life and make the session feel extra personal and magical. The possibilities here are endless — and the smiles always say it all.
🏕️ One Happy Camper
This outdoorsy theme is full of cozy charm! With teepees, pine trees, and girly touches like pink flannel or floral garlands, your little camper will look right at home in the great cake-covered outdoors. It’s the perfect blend of rustic and sweet.
Each cake smash session I design is completely customized, so whether you want something from this list or have your own unique idea, we’ll bring it to life in the cutest way possible. And don’t worry — I take care of the setup, props, and the mess. You just bring the birthday girl and cake and get ready to make memories.
