CAKE SMASH

At Bright Eyes Photography in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, we have been doing cake smashes for eleven years! Whether you want a bright and colourful style with all the razzmatazz, or simple so it's all about the baby, let us help create your special memories to celebrate your baby's biggest milestone yet. Not sure about the sugar for your baby? How about our new SUGAR-FREE, egg free cake! Or why not try a naked or semi-naked cake with fruit?  Or a sugar-free jelly smash, fruit smash or watermelon cake smash alongside our usual choice of frosted vanilla sponge. Or what about spaghetti or a fake cake? The choice is yours. We also run non-food one year mini-sessions.

Every one of our Cake Smash sessions now come with our delightful MP4 video slideshows to music which recent parents are raving over!  Fabulous to show at your child's first birthday party (as well as their 18th!) to share all the craziness we capture and to keep the memories alive!

STYLES & THEMES

A few of our most recently used backdrops can be found below. There’s a few more on our Pinterest cake smash board too. All photos may be used for inspiration and items can be added and substituted to your own taste.

Looks real doesn’t it? It’s actually our fake cake decorated with paper stars to match the theme of the cake smash. So if you’re not a lover of messy or sugar for your baby, but still want photos with the cake and to have a splash in the bathtub afterwards, then book our fake cake!

We totally understand that children these days should have limited or no sugar, that is the sucrose/glucose type sugar. However fruit can supply its own natural sweetness and this 4 inch layer cake was made using ripe banans and blueberries…with no eggs..just natural fruit sweetness. The topping is whipped cream cheese and butter..again no sugar! This can also be coloured/flavoured using freeze dried fruit.
