Construction Party First Birthday Cake Smash

I heard a saying about little boys a while back that by the age of four they would either be obsessed with Space, Dinosaurs, Trains or Big Trucks and working in the Cake Smash and Birthday party industry a statement has never been truer!

Baby C’s construction themed Birthday Party was exactly what I expected it to be. Messy.

As a completely feral and range free Baby, I spends most his days outside with his Mama playing in the dirt and tending to their farm animals. Needless to say he was no stranger to getting down and dirty. His poor cake never stood a chance.

Bluey First Birthday Cake Smash

Even though these Cake Smash photos are from a while back now, I was originally worried that I missed showcasing them to all the Bluey Fans because of how quickly popularity in shows and movies come and go now a days. Fortunate for me, Bluey is still wildly popular, as it should be, and is still a requested theme two years later!

Admittedly I haven’t been a huge fan of a lot of recent cartoons that kids watch now a days (they’re far too fast passed, noisy and busy) Bluey is one of the rare few that I would closely compare to the cartoons we had growing up! Plus, the lessons and deeper meaning in all the episodes is so relatable and at times heart wrenching. I didn’t think a show about talking Dogs that wasn’t homeward bound would make me cry!

I was over the moon when this family requested the theme, especially considering I had just finished painting my Heelers Car! It was such a fun and easy set to put together. I’ve done several Bluey Cake Smashes and been to several Bluey Birthday Partys since then and there’s so many fun elements from the show you can incorporate in that I’ve never had difficulty putting creating something! Also, how Darling is this Bluey Dress?

Fortunate for me, little lady loved her Bluey Cake and was nothing but smiles for her photos! I can’t wait to share other Bluey themed photos and I’m so happy to finally be able to share some of my most colorful and loved Cake Smash sets with everyone! Big thanks to Mom, Dad and of course Baby girl for making the drive all the way to Nashville for this Cake Smash photoshoot!
