The History of National Cake Day

Just like you, we’re also curious about the history of National Cake Day and who was the mastermind behind the idea.

Cakes have been ruling every celebration since ancient times, and one of the first cakes was made in ancient Greece and Egypt. People back then used to eat it with nuts and honey at the end of their meal.

To keep it short and to the point, in 19th-century Western Europe, people started bringing cake to every celebration with attractive candles on top. It was a tradition to make a wish, then blow out the candles and cut the cake.

However, cakes are not just limited to birthday celebrations. They’re also a sweet treat for every meal and function. Whether chocolate or black forest, angel food, or the pineapple upside-down version, almost everyone enjoys a slice of cake.

Fast forward to today, and people now also enjoy cake smash photo sessions at their parties.

What’s Cake Smash Photography?

It means that parents get a cake specifically for the purpose of letting their child smash it however they like. A cake smash will be the center of attraction for your party, and your little one is going to love it! A professional photographer captures those moments for beautiful memories and an everlasting wall frame. It’s cute, right? That’s what it’s supposed to be, and believe us, it’s so worth it!

The sole purpose of this activity is to let your toddler have fun. This strategy also opens up creativity and freedom in their minds.

When your baby smashes the cake without being scolded, they get the frosting all over their face, trying to taste it. This gives the photographer the perfect opportunity to capture their candid pictures, so you can have plenty of precious memories to enjoy later.

How did this trend come about?

Cake smash photo shoots have become so popular over the years that nobody exactly remembers when this trend started. Parents usually do this on the first birthdays of their toddlers. In fact, some parents do it before the birthday party to use those photos as party invites. However, it can be a little overwhelming for some children. That’s why you need a professional photographer and a comfortable photo studio to softly and patiently handle the child.
