Is this a real balloon garland?

No. It is a printed backdrop showing pink balloons and a sweep. You hang it behind the subject; the balloons are part of the print.

Can I use it for a cake smash at home?

Yes, if you have a stand or wall to hang it on and space for a small set. Add your own cake and props in front of it.

Printed fabric backdrops usually arrive folded. Steam or iron the back on low heat, or hang it taut for a day before the shoot.

The pink balloon theme reads as a girl's first birthday. For a different palette, look for another Aperturee backdrop.

Yes. Store it rolled rather than folded to limit creasing, and it can serve later milestone or birthday portraits.
