Orange Rum Cake

baked by Sally Pederson

Orange rum cake sprinkled with sliced almonds

This set was so much fun to photograph.  By then the rest of the girls were really getting into plating.  Scarlett helped spear some orange curls and I liked how the shape complimented the slices of orange rum cake. The cake by the way was so flavorful and moist.  I feel truly blessed to be surrounded by such talented bakers!

Pumpkin Cinnamon Muffins

These muffins were so delicious. 

Moist and chewy, sprinkled with cinnamon on top.

I recently joined a Cooking/Baking/Libation Club.  We have yet chosen a name for the get together but we plan on making it a monthly rendezvous.  It would be such a shame to let such talent go unphotographed so I will be documenting our meetings.  More photos to come!

Non-Chorizo Potato and Egg Dish

My roommate decided to slice up some potatoes and bake them for breakfast.  She fried up some eggs, plated the food, sprinkled some paprika and I took out my 40D and snapped a couple shots. With the help of some white boards and the morning sunlight softly pouring into the living room the photos came out pretty well.  Looks delicious doesn't it?  

 

I like the way the paprika looked sprinkled atop the toasty potatoes and freshly scrambled eggs.

Note to self: Start collecting colorful napkins, spiffy looking utensils, and other props to help enhance these pictures.  Practice makes perfect.
