Making Amends

OK so this is not really a new post it is more a fix up of an old post. I was having a look at the stats for my blog and it seems that this post is the one that gets the most number of hits.

When I had a look at the post I realized that it had one of my least favorite food photographs on it. I had lost my camera at the time and I was trying to use my friends which I didn't do very well. I took the photo in the morning as I was rushing off to work. Basically the photograph did the cake no justice at all. Here is the photo that used to be on this post. I don't know what I was thinking. It doesn't look appetizing at all, does it?


It was always on my mind to take a much better photo of such a fantastic cake. To style it properly and make it look like you just want to cut yourself a slice of it and tuck in right now. And I Think I have done that now.

Comparing this two photos has made me realize how much I have learned about food photography over the last couple of years. I know I still have so much to learn and that why I have already signed up for my first ever photography course. F-stops and aperture here I come.

ps. I didn't want to write the name of the cake because the reason the post gets the most hits is from people googling "m@rs b@r chee$ecake" and I didn't want them coming to this post instead of the one with the recipe.
