I had some first birthday sessions coming up and needed a fake cake for the studio, so I decided to make one.

I went for a two-tier semi-naked cake. Partly because it looks great for cake smash sessions, and partly because I’m not the world’s best icer and I figured I could get away with calling it rustic. Watch the video to see how it went.
