Cake Smash Flooring - What Should I Use?

We often get asked "what should I use for a floor for a cake smash session?" Vinyl is very popular for cake smashes because the material can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. You do have to be careful though, the oils and dye in the frosting can stain the backdrop, especially if it's a lighter color backdrop. Canvas and poly paper cannot be wiped clean, so customers often think those materials are not an option as a photo backdrop floor. So what material can you use?

To prevent the floor from getting damaged, we recommend using any backdrop material of your choice and putting a clear acrylic sheet over it. It can be found at most hardware stores and will protect the floor from staining or getting wet.

Acrylic makes these messy sessions a lot easier. When the cake smash fun it over, simply wipe up the frosting with a baby wipe or a damp cloth with soap. You'll never have to worry about your photo backdrop floor getting ruined again!

  • There is non-glare acrylic. A disposable option would be a large paper roll, which can be tossed after each session. Some craft stores or teacher supply stores offer large rolls of paper.

  • Will the acrylic sheet reflect surrounding objects and light? Also, is there a disposable option for the floor?

  • Yes, they are the same thing :) To my understanding, acrylic is the name of the material and plexiglass is a brand name, but they are the same thing.
