Are Cake Smashes Just for Kids?
Of course not!!!

Who says Cake Smashes are just for kids? At Capture the Light Photography, we’re here to tell you that they can be just as much fun for adults too. In fact, babies can sometimes be overwhelmed by a cake, and just don’t appreciate it! Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting an unforgettable Cake Smash session for the lovely Amy, to celebrate her 40th birthday, and it was just so much fun that I had to share it with you!

A Birthday Surprise to Remember!

Amy’s husband Jon wanted to surprise her with something truly special for her milestone birthday, and a Cake Smash was the perfect choice, along with a weekend away with friends AND a family trip away too. I’ll admit to being a tiny bit jealous of Amy’s birthday treats!!

From the moment she stepped into the studio in Olney, we chatted and laughed and had lots of fun. We started the session with some beautiful portraits, capturing Amy in her favourite dresses. These images showed both her elegance and fun, and we both enjoyed selecting different backdrops and outfits. When you are a wife and a mum, it’s so easy to lose a part of yourself because you are always focussing on others. It’s so important to put yourself first sometimes and to remember who you are!  

As Amy seemed to be up for a laugh, I asked her if she would try on a new dress I had just purchased for the studio. It was a bit of a risk when I bought it and I’m not entirely sure we styled it correctly, but we giggled and Amy rocked it!

The Cake Smash: Not Just for Kids!

Next we moved on to the Cake Smash – the main event! Armed with a bottle of fizz, Amy embraced the experience and got stuck in! Her laughter was contagious, and the photos captured during this part of the session are filled fun. There’s something incredibly liberating about diving into a cake, no matter your age.

Why Should Kids Have All the Fun?

Cake Smashes are usually associated with childhood milestones, but they’re also a fantastic way to celebrate being a grown up – without acting too grown up!

These sessions are about more than just the photos; they’re about creating an experience that you’ll remember for years. The moments we capture during an adult Cake Smash are a reminder that you’re never too old to embrace your inner child.
