Styling a Tasteful Cake Smash

How to celebrate a first birthday with a set that feels editorial rather than cluttered — palette, cake and props.

Styling a Tasteful Cake Smash

Start with one palette

Two or three tones is plenty. Ivory with a single warm accent reads far more elegantly than a rainbow of colour.

The cake is the accent

A simple naked cake with soft buttercream photographs beautifully and, more importantly, is safe and enjoyable for your little one.

Restraint in props

A linen backdrop, a wooden stool and a few dried grasses. Everything else competes with your child's face.

Portraits before the celebration

We always photograph clean portraits first, so you have both the composed frames and the joyful mess.
