🙋‍♀️ Cake Smash FAQs 🙋‍♀️

 

🎂 What’s the Best Age for a Cake Smash?

The ideal age is around 10–11 months — when babies love the mess and aren’t quite walking yet. We can also photograph sessions anytime between 10 to 14 months.

 

🍰 Can the Cake Be Sugar-Free?

Unfortunately not — our supplier can't make sugar-free cakes, as icing and fondant require sugar. If you prefer a sugar-free option, you're welcome to bring your own cake.

 

🥜 Do You Cater for Allergies (Egg-Free, Dairy-Free, etc.)?

Yes! Allergy-friendly cakes can be made with a $10 upgrade. Just let us know your needs when booking.

 

📅 Can We Book a Weekend Session?

Cake Smashes are weekday only, during school hours. No weekend bookings available.

 

👨‍👩‍👧 Can Family Members Attend?

Yes, but sessions are limited to 2 adults to keep the focus on your little cake star.

 

🎈 Is the Cake and Decoration Included?

Absolutely! Cake and props are included.

 

🤔 What If My Baby Doesn’t Eat the Cake?

Totally normal! Bring a favourite snack (like MumMum crackers) just in case, and consider doing a cupcake trial at home before your session.

 

👚 Will Mum or Dad Get Messy?

Probably! Be prepared to get hands-on (and frosting-covered).
Wear something you don’t mind getting messy — it's all part of the fun!

🏞️ Can Siblings or Parents Be in the Photos?

Yes! Parents and siblings are welcome to join before or during the Cake Smash.
There is a small additional fee listed in the packages.

 

📸 When Will We See the Photos?

You'll get a sneak peek within 4–5 days, and your full gallery will be ready in 2 weeks.

 

📍Where is Your Studio?

Located in Clyde, South East Melbourne.
Sessions are held in-studio only — we do not travel to client homes.

📞 Can I Call You?

I’m an email-only studio to keep everything organised. Send me an email anytime — fast replies guaranteed!
