They’re messy, sticky\u00a0and just a little bit icky,\u00a0but for couples who like that sort of thing, wedding cake smashes are all the rage.<\/p>\n

Originally a child’s birthday party trend out of America, cake smashes are all about letting the birthday boy or girl (usually a toddler) loose on their cake. And anything goes. The results may be messy, but the photos are, usually, lots of fun – and the trend has definitely crossed over to weddings with more and more couples requesting their wedding cake maker<\/a> bake an extra ‘smash’ cake for the occasion.<\/p>\n

Most of us wouldn’t be too keen on messing up our pretty wedding dresses, but there are plenty of brides – and grooms – who don’t mind one bit!<\/p>\n

Oh, and be sure to get your spouse’s permission before launching into a cake smash<\/a>. It’s really something you should both agree on BEFOREHAND! The last thing you want is a fight on your wedding day!<\/p>\n

That flower girl <\/a>looks pretty shocked. Either that or she’s wondering whether she can join the fun!<\/p>\n

Some brides\u00a0take this wedding tradition very seriously. Take a closer look at the bride’s face. But, judging by the final photo, her groom loved every minute of it.<\/p>\n

Not all cake smashes have to be messy. If you want to keep your wedding gown pristine and your groom’s suit nice and neat, have a controlled cake smash. The trick is to hold your heads as far back from your garments as possible – and use only very small pieces of cake<\/a>!<\/p>\n
