How to Plan the Perfect Indoor Cake Smash Session in Boca Raton & Coconut CreekBy Jennifer Ubinas Photography

The first birthday is such a big milestone—your little one goes from baby to toddler in what feels like the blink of an eye. A cake smash session is the perfect way to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime moment with joy, laughter, and adorable photos you’ll treasure forever.

If you’re in Boca Raton or Coconut Creek and thinking about booking an indoor cake smash session, here’s everything you need to know.

🎂 Why Choose an Indoor Cake Smash?

Florida weather can be unpredictable, and first birthdays often fall during the hottest or rainiest months of the year.

That’s why I offer indoor cake smash photography in my Deerfield Beach studio:✅ Controlled temperature (so your baby stays comfortable)✅ Soft, natural light that flatters every setup✅ A clean, safe environment designed just for little ones

✨ When to Book Your Cake Smash Session

I recommend scheduling your cake smash photos for when your baby is around 10–11 months old. This allows you to:

Have the images ready for their birthday party or invitations
Capture them while they’re still a little baby-ish but curious enough to explore the cake

Booking 1–2 months in advance ensures you get your preferred date.

🎀 How to Choose a Theme

One of the best parts of planning a cake smash is picking a theme that reflects your little one’s personality.In my studio, I keep things classic, neutral, and timeless, but we can incorporate soft colors, subtle themes, or favorite details.

Some popular ideas include:

Simple white or beige backdrop with greenery
Soft pastel balloons
Minimalist boho setups
Vintage wooden props

You’re welcome to bring a small banner or custom cake topper to personalize your session.

🎂 The Cake

When you book, I’ll provide guidance on choosing a cake that photographs beautifully.Tips:

Use buttercream frosting (it smashes best)
Avoid red or dark-colored icing that can stain skin
Keep it simple—small cakes look best

If your child has food allergies or sensitivities, let me know so we can discuss safe options.

📷 What’s Included in a Cake Smash Session?

Each indoor cake smash includes:✅ Time for clean portraits before the cake✅ 20–30 minutes of cake smashing fun✅ Optional splash bath cleanup photos afterward✅ 8 professionally edited digital images (with upgrade options)

Everything is designed to be stress-free for parents and lots of fun for baby.
