Cake Photography Tips
Have you ever wondered how our cake images at Sensational Cakes and Desserts are so colourful, sharp and tasty? Cake photography is an art that requires a combination of technical skills and creativity. Here are some tips to help you take stunning photos of your cakes:
Use natural light: Natural light is the best option for cake photography. It’s free, readily available, and provides a soft, diffused light that is perfect for highlighting the details of your cake. Try taking your photos near a window or outside on a cloudy day. If you do not have natural light in your bakery, then consider getting a soft box for that soft and diffused professional look.
Choose the right background: The background of your photo can make or break the shot. Choose a background that complements the colours and textures of your cake. A plain white or black background can work well, or you can use a patterned or textured background for added interest.
Experiment with angles: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different angles when taking photos of your cake. Try shooting from above, below, or at a 45-degree angle. Each angle will give you a different perspective on your cake.
Use props: Props can add interest and context to your cake photos. Try using cake stands, plates, flowers, or other items to create a visually appealing scene.
Focus on the details: Cakes are all about the details, so make sure you capture them in your photos. Focus on the frosting, decorations, and texture of your cake to create a visually stunning image.
Edit your photos: Editing your photos can help enhance the colors and details of your cake. Try using a photo editing app or software to adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation of your photos.
Practice, practice, practice: Like any skill, cake photography takes practice. Keep experimenting with different techniques and settings until you find what works best for you.
