Beautiful Photos of your cakes
Hi, I have seen so many beautiful photos taken of everyones cakes, I was wondering if anyone could share with me how do you get such gorgeous photos?? Is there a software everyone uses or do you really use different fabric backgrounds maybe?? Would love to know how its done!

My photos are not as nice as most of the amazing cakers I see around but I am broke and usually VERY tiered when i finish a cake and start taking pictures of it lol. I use poster boards for my backgrounds (2 for $1 at dollar tree), my Iphone for my camera, and a lamp with no shade as my light source. I just set up my poster boards, place my cake then hold the lamp where I need it with one hand and take photos with the other. Quick, simple, and pretty decent results with minimal cost and effort.

I create a pretty inexpensive photo station in my shop. I use a couple of lights I got really cheap at IKEA and made a small rack that holds 4 different photo papers. Recently I added a couple of magnetic bars (also from IKEA) so that I can hold up fabric samples too. I will hit the fabric sections of the craft stores and usual;y buy the remnants. Usually 2 yards of fabric is plenty.
A good entry level DSLR will take better pictures than a point n shoot, but good lighting is key to a good picture. Sometimes the best pictures o my cakes is when I get them outside in the natural sunlight.
Here’s a picture of my photo booth setup:
