Cake Photography - Like A PRO!
Learn how to take eye-catching, attention grabbing photos to really show off your cakes.
Whether you’re sharing them on social media, a website, or your blog, your photos will attract customers, clients or brands and they'll impress friends, family, and followers on social media!
Cake Photography: Why is it important?
I’ve been making and photographing cakes for over ten years and cake photos are more important now than ever!
I started out selling cakes, so I understand the importance of making cakes that taste and look fantastic. But with how huge social media has become as a way to connect with others, on a personal level or as a business, a great photo of a beautiful cake can be seen and appreciated by a LOT more people than just those who eat it!
Great cake photos can generate more cake orders, grow your following on social media, and impress your friends and family!
What you'll learn in this course:
1) The "Studio"
Learn how to turn any space into a professional looking "studio" with excellent lighting (natural and/or artificial) that will really show off your cakes, using things you have in your house or, if you want to, by buying very affordable equipment.
2) The Setup
Pick up tips and techniques to beautify your photos by making your cakes look their best. Choose angles and setups and stage your photos using specific types and arrangements of props to serve different purposes.
3) The Shot
Use your phone or camera to adjust the lighting and focus of your shot to take eye-catching photos. Learn how to make those photos even better with some basic editing.

You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on equipment to be able to effectively showcase your cakes. Just using your phone with no extra equipment, you can still take awesome cake photos if you know how.
Throughout the course I’ll show you different options to achieve each result, ranging from things you’ll already have around the house to things you can buy for under $100.
The perfect shot is a combination of a great background, excellent lighting and good staging using props you already have in your kitchen. To capture all of that, you need to know how to use your phone or camera to take the best photos, as well as which angles, distance, and size will be the most effective for that particular cake. Then, use a few simple editing tricks to make your photo really pop.
In this course you’ll learn all of that!
