Khaleeli's 1st birthday smash cake DIY photoshoot
So Khaleeli actually turned a year old last Friday, 21st August 2015.
I just could not find any other non-cliched phrase, so yeah, time.really.flies.darn.fast!
When I was giving birth to him I swear that it would be my last, I even made it very clear to my husband. Hahah. Now I find myself missing his baby days (except the confinement and helplessness part. How I wish that babies are really sent by storks. Lol).
Anyway, when Bella turned 1, I actually threw her a big party. It was all balloons and colours, and I really enjoyed every part of it.
For Khaleeli, I did not threw a party of the same scale, but we still had something planned especially for him....
A DIY smash cake photoshoot, at the comfort of our very own cosy home! Yeay!
It was quite a last minute idea actually, but I am very happy that his abah is awesome enough to help me prepare and take photos of him. Thanks bubu :*
I made a sloppy chocolate cake, frosted with some whipped cream frosting and it was smash-able and tasty enough for him. Not bad for a beginner baker like me haha. Seriously proud of myself. LOL.
We used whatever we have for the props and background, I was glad that we actually had many things to make use of (obviously I hoard many cute stuff meheheh).
I made those little flag banners on the cake out of my washi tape collection too.
So all in all I would say the only money I had to use was for the cake ingredients.

I shall be writing again with some tips on how to make your own DIY smash cake session. I hope that it could help you get started if you are planning one for your bub soon.
Meanwhile, enjoy the photos! :)
