Cupcakes – behind the scenes

4th February 2010 by Lindy Smith

Ever wondered what it was actually like behind the scenes, well today is  the first photoshoot day for my cupcake book, so I thought I’d give you a brief glimpse of the action!! Photoshoots are never as glamourous as they sound, lots of equipment, lots of lights, leads, computers, cameras etc However thay are always exciting, as professional photographers always manage to  turn  my cakes from just being cakes to little works of art. It’s the lighting  and reflectors that do it and of course their talent for setting up the shot!

What it takes to make great cupcakes look fabulous!

As I write seven groups of cupcakes have been shot – only eighteen more to go!!! Thankfully it’s a two day photoshoot. I’m very pleased so far, can’t wait to see what how they shoot the rest!

    Hi Lindy – it’s your Editor here! Loving the peek backstage – the WIP you mailed through to the designer looks fab. It’s always so fun shooting and designing around your creations – they really are works of art (in this case very small and cute ones!). Keep up the good work girls!
