Mr. T’s Fun Cookie Monster Cake Smash :: Character First Birthday Ideas

Did someone say cookies?! I absolutely love this idea for a Cookie Monster cake smash! Sesame Street is one of those timeless and iconic shows. Which means that any characters would make a fantastic choice for a cake smash theme. That being said, cookie monster is definitely a fitting decision. And it was a pretty easy set to design. Balloons in shades of blue and white. Plus a cookie and Cookie Monster garland. And then the piece de resistance: the cake! This cake is so perfect. The texture of the frosting “fur”. The cookie hanging half eaten out of his mouth. Plus the slightly crazy eyes. Love it!

In the past I have photographed cake smash sessions with all sorts of themes. Including ones inspired by shows, characters, and books. I have created set designs inspired by everything from a Sesame Street theme. To a subtle floral boho Minnie Mouse. I even once had a cake smash based on the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie! And one thing I have learned over the years is that a theme can be as intricate or simple as you want. All that matters is that you’re ready to have some fun and celebrate!
