Teddy Bear Cake Smash

Teddy Bear Cake Smash – First Birthday

Challenge: Create a Teddy Bear cake smash set. Challenge accepted! We had to beg borrow and steal Teddy Bears for this session 🙂 Not to worry, no Teddy bears were harmed, and we did return them to their homes! I thought the hot air balloon was a cool idea but the cake was the crown jewel! It’s always fun to try new themes.
