1st Birthday Cake Smash with a favorite furry friend!

Victoria had a blast with her birthday cake and dog. We never know how these cake smash pet sessions will go but this one was so good! It almost seemed like the dog had done this before. The cake was created by French’s Cupcake Bakery – with purple and pink buttercream frosting and a touch of gold. The banner was found at BabyBirdieBoutique. The backgrounds came from LemonDrop Backdrops. We hung gold door beads in front of the backdrops. The cute pink romper was purchased at PoshPeanutKids.

Pets and Birthday Cakes

Be sure to check with your vet. Dogs should not eat sugar or chocolate, it is REALLY bad for them. The owner of this animal stayed very close and would pull the dog back between photos. Sugar and fat will give your dog a stomach ache and smaller dogs can get very sick. If you want to make your dog a cake, you can actually make pet friendly frosting at home!
