My Favorite Boy Cake Smash Themes | Anderson, Indiana Cake Smash Photographer

There’s something so special about celebrating your baby boy’s first trip around the sun with a fun and messy cake smash session! I love creating sets that match each little one’s personality, and over the years, I’ve had so much fun bringing different themes to life. If you’re looking for inspiration for your son’s cake smash session, here are a few of my favorites:

🏁 Racing

Start your engines! As an Indiana native, it would be blasphemy to not include a race theme. A racing-themed cake smash is high-energy, full of bold colors, and so much fun to style. With checkered flags, mini race cars, and a tire-inspired cake, this theme is perfect for your little speedster. It’s a fan favorite for boys who are always on the go!

🏈 Football

For the future MVP, a football-themed smash is a touchdown every time! Whether you’re an Indianapolis Colts fan or just love the sport, we can create a set featuring team colors, goal posts, and even a mini stadium vibe. It’s sporty, classic, and totally adorable.

🌌 Space

Blast off! A space cake smash brings a dreamy, out-of-this-world look to your session. Think stars, rockets, planets, and a galaxy-themed cake. It’s the perfect way to celebrate their first trip around the sun!

🍪 Milk & Cookies

This cozy, nostalgic theme is always a winner. With cookie props, milk bottles, and a cookie-covered cake, it’s sweet in every way! I love how warm and playful this setup feels, and the neutral tones work beautifully for a timeless look.

🪿 One Silly Goose

This theme is as fun and playful as it sounds! The One Silly Goose setup is perfect for parents who want something a little quirky and full of personality. With cute goose props, pastel yellows and blues, and light-hearted details, it’s a hilarious and adorable way to celebrate your little one turning ONE. It’s a crowd favorite for babies who are full of silliness and charm!

🚒 First Responders

Celebrate the everyday heroes with a first responders cake smash! Whether it’s police, fire, or EMS, this theme lets us honor those who protect and serve. Mini uniforms, toy firetrucks, and themed cakes bring this powerful look to life while still being super cute.

Whether you’re drawn to bold, sporty themes or something sweet and silly, I’m here to help bring your vision to life. Each cake smash session is styled with love and customized for your little one’s big day. Let’s make their first birthday unforgettable—messy cake, big smiles, and all!
