Since your baby only turns 1 once, you might as well go big! We did a cake smash for Harrison’s first birthday as well and it’s just so much fun. We had to do Micah’s cake indoors, which was a big mess but completely worth it! Get ready for picture overload!

2- Lumberjack Cake Smash

We decided on a lumberjack party theme when we got this Best Bottom diaper cover in burly beaver plaid. It is one of my all time favorites and the fabric is available on Fabric.com, which we used for our backdrop. We bought the wall hangings from Hobby Lobby and the lantern is from Amazon.

1- Bear Smash Cake

I made a cake shaped like a bear using a round cake and 2 cupcakes. I bought 2 different frosting colors, which turned out to look the same, so it wasn’t quite what I was going for. Since it was cute and about to get smashed to bits, I didn’t worry too much.

3- 1st Birthday Smash Cake

Both kids gave us the same look when we set them up for their cake smash. (This devious look combined with “Can I actually eat this?”)

4- Micah Miles Smash Cake

5- Micah's Bear Smash Cake

Micah started out slow and got a good taste. Turns out, he’s a big fan of cake.

6- 1st Birthday

7- Lumberjack Cake

11- Chocolate Smash Cake

He didn’t eat much cake before he decided it would be fun to see how much he could get on the walls and ceiling.

9- Lumberjack

10- Micah 1st Birthday

The mess was totally worth it. About 3/4 of the pictures were blurry because Micah is a mover. He is very different than Harrison in that way. While Harrison takes his time with things, Micah is all over the place.

13- First Cake

12- Lumberjack Beard

He ended up with a pretty epic lumberjack beard.

8- Cake Smash

I’m not a professional cake decorator or photographer, but these moments will be some of my best memories with the kids. I can’t believe Micah will be 1 next week. It is incredible how much kids change in that first year. Micah, you will always be my baby. Happy birthday!
