Incorporating champagne, whimsical chalkboards, and glittery footwear, adult cake smash photo sessions are garnering attention for their joyous spirit, sometimes even surpassing traditional baby cake smashes in fun.
When Jane decided to mark her 40th birthday in a distinctive manner, she rallied a group of friends to help bring her vision to life, including photographer Laura Johnson. The idea was initially shared in a local Facebook group, “The Real Housewives of Springfield,” where Jane enthusiastically received support from her friends. “I immediately responded, saying, ‘I’m in! This is going to be legendary,’” Johnson recounted.

And indeed, it was nothing short of legendary. The group of four women prepared an array of gold, white, and pink balloons, a delectable cake, pink champagne, and an outfit for Jane that was both festive and fabulous—complete with a crown, tutu, and sparkling shoes. “Jane has a vibrant personality, so I knew this would be a blast! A lot of thought went into every little detail—the top, the tutu, the shoes,” Johnson explained.
A standout element of the shoot was the chalkboard sign that proclaimed “Jane Aged To Perfection.” “It was a complete surprise for Jane—another friend from our group organized it,” said Johnson. Hilariously, the board featured quotes like, “I weigh none of your business,” alongside Jane’s favorites such as reality TV, philanthropy, nachos, and vodka. We also discovered she possesses “the mouth of a sailor and the heart of a lion.”
Johnson, who has extensive experience in capturing baby cake smash moments, mentioned that while this was her first cake smash for a 40-year-old, her previous work with toddlers helped guide her. “The experience of directing one-year-olds certainly assisted in creating a fun atmosphere,” she noted. “I aimed to replicate the joy of placing a child in front of a cake and letting them enjoy it.”

With so many delightful features, how could the women not have an incredible time? “I hadn’t laughed this hard during a photoshoot in ages,” Johnson admitted. Her favorite image is one where Jane cheekily poses with her middle finger raised. “Jane playfully gave her friends the finger, so I had her recreate it with cake—it was perfect,” she shared. “I can’t pick just one favorite part of the shoot, but that middle finger certainly took the cake, literally! I cherish the fun and planning that went into making this happen!”

As for the cake and champagne? After their efforts, the ladies indulged in the fruits of their labor. “We celebrated by finishing the champagne and devouring chunks of the cake with our hands—such elegance!”
