Cake Decoration Tricks

This book has been published recently by New Holland Publications, and it was one of the most difficult projects i had to photograph in my life.
Sue McMahon, the author and Food Stylist, has developed stunning ideas for cake decorating.
I spend twice the amount of time doing the retouching in comparision to photographing. The fact was, that many step by step images contained hands and fingers, which turned red due to pressure. Also many cakes or decoration were white with white details or shiny black chocolate with white contrast, some of the most difficult objects in photography.
It was a challenging job, but i always enjoy a challenge !!
