What is a cake smash ?
It’s a lot like a baby sensory class but with less paint and a lot more cake (and I can confirm, they really are delicious)! Some little ones get really into the spirit of the cake smash and get stuck in, while others gently prod the icing and delicately nibble. Either way, you’ll love seeing their individual personalities shine through when they’re presented with their yummy birthday cake.
