Haha, that second pic made me nervous. Y’all seem like professionals, but just the thought of that camera taking a nosedive into your hard work. However it would probably make for a funny photo

This is such a fun thing I didn’t know they did! It’s also so weird how the entries have the legit cheescakes and then what I’m assuming are a bunch of bots posting pics of the worst looking cinnamon rolls to ever be ai created lol. Good Luck, I hope you win!!

As a food photographer, would you be up for some tips? If so, your husband chose a great location for the shoot! Expose for the highlights and if you feel like the shadows are too dark, use a white form board (you can get them for like $3 at a hobby lobby type place) to reflect the light back into the shadows. The close the “reflector” to the cake, the brighter the shadows will get. Don’t over do it. Light and shadows help define depth and visual interest. Put some things around the cake that draws in the eye but makes sense to be in the photo. Have a cloth napkin or kitchen towel that looks cool? Lightly crumple that up and have it in the photo somewhere. Put a pie server in the towel and have a knife you’d cut the cake somewhere else in the photo. Have extra ingredients like eggs, a metal measuring cup filled with flour (with a bit of it spilling out) would work great as well. Metal whisks are great. Wooden cutting boards have visual interest and creates layers of depth. Figure out what cool things you have in your house and use it on the outsets of the photo. Play around with angles! As an alternate shot, cut the cake and photograph the slice on a plate with the whole cake in the back ground but off to the side (you can cut off the whole cake in the photo so you can get closer to the slice). This way, the viewer can see what your cake looks like on the inside! Good luck and have fun with it!

Hey guys, I’m the husband. I didn’t expect such a demand to see the photos. [Here is the album of photos.](https://imgur.com/a/FVu5gjH). It’s literally my first time doing food photography, so be gentle.
