Cake Smash Session: Construction Zone
One of my favorite things about a cake smash session is customizing the sets! It’s so much fun to work with our clients, hunting for inspiration on Pinterest, and surfing Amazon for the missing piece. Smashing birthday cakes seems like an easy session but countless hours are put into every backdrop design. We are constantly adding to our prop inventory. Every time Brian finds another large Amazon box at the door, he thinks- “oh no, where are we going to store that?” The real challenge is the organization. I am a VERY organized person so a messy prop storage area can stress me out!
One year old – Under Construction theme
James is all boy- so the construction theme was just perfect! We collected a few black, orange and yellow props like caution tape, party streamers, mini traffic cones, toy tractors, and a work vest with hard hat! The paper traffic signs were found on amazon. The cake was designed by French’s Cupcake Bakery (the best in town!) His little overalls he wore were absolutely perfect for this cake smash session. Every construction project needs some dirt, right? We found a large bag of brown sugar at the grocery store that worked great.
