Cake..

[TamiAz]

I'm submitting a recipe to Food Gawker and I need a picture to go with it.. I spent an hour with this stupid cake and I was getting quite frustrated. How does this look?

Good, but overexposed I'd say

makes me hungry. has a few hot spots that depending on how the original is you could save them.

It looks like you need to keep cutting it up and pass it out for us to sample. lol

I would like to see more detail in the icing on the top of the cake. It looks blown out to me.

I know how food photography can be frustrating. Deeply sympathize and I think you need a :hug::

If you had enough of it today, then I'll say it's good, and it really is a good photo.

If you want the photo a bit better then composing the triangle slice needs a bit more work

I don't know what it is about that fork that bugs me. :scratch:

I think the icing is blown out?
Perhaps bracket and merge the shot with the icing?

I may try again tomorrow, but I'm done for the day.. That's if I can keep my family away from it.
