Only fit for a summer baby!

A cake smash on the beach for your one-year-old is the perfect way to celebrate this big milestone in a fun, memorable, and unique way! Here are a few reasons why it’s an amazing idea:

  1. Unforgettable Photos: The beach offers a stunning, natural backdrop that will make the photos of your little one smashing into the cake even more special. Imagine soft golden sand, the waves gently rolling in, and your baby covered in frosting—such a sweet moment you’ll want to treasure forever!
  2. A Fun Experience: Cake smashes aren’t just about the photos—they’re about letting your baby explore, get messy, and have fun! The beach is a relaxed, playful environment that will encourage your child to fully dive into the experience, giving you candid, joyful moments to remember. Most of my families opt into having a 30 minute family session prior to the cake.
  3. Perfect Setting for Little Ones: Babies love being outdoors, and the beach is a sensory paradise. With the sand to feel, the sea breeze to enjoy, and the open space to crawl and explore, it’s a perfect place for your baby to be free and curious, making the cake smash even more exciting.
  4. No Mess at Home: Why deal with the aftermath of cake all over your home when you can let your baby enjoy the mess outside? The beach is the perfect place for the sticky, frosty fun—no cleanup worries afterward, just sand, sunshine, and smiles.
  5. A Unique Touch: Most cake smashes happen indoors, so doing one on the beach will give the event a unique, memorable twist that will stand out in photos and in your family’s memories. It’s a celebration of your baby’s first year, and what better way to mark it than with a one-of-a-kind event in such a special setting?
  6. A Beautiful Keepsake: The combination of your child’s pure joy with the beach’s beauty will create timeless photos that you’ll cherish forever, and it’s something you can revisit each year to see how much your baby has grown.
