Best Cake Smash Outfit Ideas for Your Baby’s First Birthday in Boca Raton & Beyond

If you're searching for the perfect cake smash outfit for your baby’s first birthday, you're not alone—and you’re definitely in the right place. At Jennifer Ubinas Photography, we’ve styled and photographed dozens of unforgettable cake smash sessions in Boca Raton and throughout South Florida.

The key to making your baby’s one-year photo shoot picture-perfect?✨ A thoughtfully styled outfit that photographs beautifully and makes cleanup easy.

Here’s our expert breakdown of what to wear, what to avoid, and how to match your outfit with the theme of your shoot!

👑 1. Soft Neutrals Always Win

Neutral colors like cream, beige, blush, soft gray, or white help keep the focus on your baby and the cake—not the outfit itself.

Why photographers love them:

  • They photograph beautifully with studio lighting

  • They work with any backdrop or cake theme

  • They keep your images classic and versatile

Try:

  • Rompers with ruffle sleeves

  • Soft muslin onesies

  • Knit suspender sets

  • Barefoot looks with a bow or floral crown

🧁 2. Tutu Sets for Little Divas

If your baby girl is born to sparkle, a fluffy tutu skirt paired with a headband or pearl necklace adds just the right amount of sass.

Just keep it simple on top—less glitter, more baby!

Great for themes like:

  • "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

  • "Princess Cake Smash"

  • "Floral Garden"

  • "Butterfly Dreams"

🏁 3. Bow Ties + Suspenders for Boys

Little gents look adorable in bow ties and suspenders, especially when styled in neutral or pastel shades.

Our go-to combos for a clean and classic look:

  • Tan shorts + white onesie + bow tie

  • Linen pants + suspenders

  • Barefoot + matching cake colors

Great themes:

  • “Little Man”

  • “Where the Wild Things Are”

  • “Boho Woodland”

  • “Airplane First Birthday”

🎨 4. Keep It Simple (Let Baby Shine!)

At Jennifer Ubinas Photography, we always recommend minimal patterns and textures. Busy prints or cartoon characters can distract from your baby’s expressions (and your gorgeous cake).

💡 Pro tip: Think of your photos hanging on the wall 10 years from now. Keep it classic over trendy.
