Cambridge Ontario Cake Smash

I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a cake smash without tears. This is my first time photographing a cake smash here in Cambridge and it proved to be similar to every other one I’ve done! I think maybe it’s because once the baby is dirty their parents don’t want to touch them, but whatever the reason, Effie’s cake smash did not disappoint. Her talented mom made the beautiful cake (just like the cake she made for her older sister.) and we spent a few minutes one morning the other day trying to capture the excitement of her first birthday cake!

I always try to grab an image or two before they get dirty. Effie has been teething, so she’s often got her hands in her mouth. I love how this image shows that!

This cake was so delicious (Shelagh saved some leftovers that didn’t get smashed.)

This image just makes me smile…I love that she’s unsure about what’s about to happen.

…and tears!

Over the years, I’ve learned that giving the baby a spoon can usually help. Effie loved playing with the spoon and eventually got into her cake smash.
