Everything you need to know before booking your cake smash session

Cake smash

May 28, 2024

A Dubai Cake Smash session is an awesome way to celebrate your little ones first birthday! Make the most memorable day out of it! Celebrate yourselves! You made it! You are superheroes of the parents!  I do remember my little ones turning one and how special it felt. I am so grateful my photographer friends could capture those moments for us! Now as kids get older they love going through those photographs too! 

Some tips before you book :

  • Book your Cake Smash session in advance to secure your photographer is available and allow yourself time to choose the theme, the outfits 
  • Choose your cake provider carefully. There are lots of wonderful licensed small businesses in Dubai along with bakery shops. You may always outsource your cake or have it included in the package. We have a wonderful bakers working with us – CakeSmash & NiCookie Dubai
  • Let your little one try something sweet before the session! For most babies cake smash session day is the first time they get to try cake. Reactions to texture, taste can be different. To ensure little one is familiar with the taste try giving a tiny bit of desert in advance.
  • Take an extra set of clothes for both your little one and yourselves. Cake smashes get messy! Bring along a towel and wipes! 
  • Bring along your little one’s favorite toy for them to have something familiar in a not so familiar place. Think of songs your baby might smile to. It’s art to get those smiley portraits with one year olds at time so whatever works! 
  • Enjoy! Most importantly don’t forget to enjoy the day! Whether the little one smashes or not smashes the cake, the portraits will be gorgeous and the day will be memorable!
