These Epic Cake Smash Outtakes Will Leave You in Hysterics

When parents plan cake smash sessions, they typically have a clear vision: their angelic child, dressed in an adorable outfit, enjoying their first taste of cake in honor of his or her birthday. As their kiddo lights up after a heavenly taste of frosting, they hope to capture some memorable photos — and sure, some are bound to involve the little one getting messy. But as new parents quickly learn, life doesn't always go as planned, and neither do cake smash sessions. From tots who turn out to be terrified of the round thing placed in front of them to pets that decide to photobomb the big moment (while attacking the cake at the same time!), the only thing better than adorable cake smash photos are the hysterical outtakes. Check out these epic photos, and be prepared to laugh until it hurts.
