The cake smash apparently originates from the mexican tradition, as it has the largest growing population in the united states, so this would make a lot of sense!

They celebrate what is called, the mordida.  the mordida is a tradition when the first birthday boy or girl’s little face gets gently pushed into the cake (usually by the parent) to take their first bite of cake.  

Then everyone around them sings, mordida! mordida! mordida! it means bite in spanish.

Mum or Dad will come up behind the child usually after blowing out the candles and boom… face gently into the cake. everyone then cheers and lots of pictures are taken.

However cake Smashes aren't quite like this in Beside The Seaside Photography’s Studio!!

Starting with their One Year portraits, then onto the fun of the cake smash, you’re little won’t leave a mess in the car as they end with a tub splash which is always full of big giggles.

They dry off just in time to go celebrate their first birthday!!
