in photography •  7 years ago 

Okay, prepare yourselves for a lot of flowers!

I tested so many vanilla cakes to find the best one ever and this is it.

February begins tomorrow and you know what that means? Valentine's Day!

Now let's talk about this cake recipe. Wait, that was lame, I meant CAKE! Because it’s friday and we get cake so there needs to be some excitement, you with me?

Okay, I know Valentine’s day is a little bit far but I’m quickly learning that you have to start early in order to keep up in the food blog biz. It can be crazy. Don’t worry, I still have plenty of superbowl recipes too. I just really wanted to share this today.

I'm hoping you enjoy this one and it's not just good for V-day, it's great for birthdays, mother's day, graduations, you name it!

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.

And, by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21. The key to success on Steemit is to be consistent and persistent.

Also, a huge shoutout to @rigaronib for designing my logo!

I wish you check my blog please and my work thanks

Nice flower and food,,, its looks so yammmmiiiiiii

thanks so much for commenting on my post @ripon1

Great Valentine surprise to give if you cover the whole cake in flowers as the receiver wouldn't expect it to be a cake! Even better if the flowers were edible.
Btw, small error in the text (after the 3rd photo) - it's Thursday today and not Friday (just helping out)... but, we shall all be optimistic and just say it's Friday already :p hahaha

so sorry for the 5 day delay in responding @travelling-two. These flowers are not edible, but there is such a thing, you check out @haphazard-hstead

No worries about the delay. We can imagine you are busy not only on here, but in life in general.
Cool, we shall check out @haphazard-hstead 😊

Great post, well done and thanks for the minnow / 1st post comment. this is my 2nd day and learning formatting. you nailed it thanks

thanks for the comment and the support @wolfhart

Flower is one of the best things we can give to others, but if it with cake , it's way better and looking yumm too.

thanks so much for commenting @abdulmanan

At first glance I would probably eat the flowers, thinking they are frosting. They do look good enough to eat. Anyone else make that mistake?

follow me @muhammadnoval18. please

no, not that I am aware of. My house is full of expert eaters who can tell the difference - LOL

Thanks so much for commenting @creativetruth

Beauty..
From the first I can not technique making flowers..

thanks so much for commenting @putroeal

wow, great work. I love the pictures. 💕

Love it, myself and my fiance are going wedding cake shopping this weekend so this is getting me very excited.

Wedding cake shopping, I hope you're prepared for the sticker shock? Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting @davekavanagh, I really appreciate your support

Yep I'm prepared for a shock alright but hopefully all worth it. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Stunning photography, as usual. I love dahlias and fuchsia! There is something so entrancing and whimsical about them. <3

I am curious, what do you use for back drops? Are they vinyl prints?

I use a large variety of things such as boards and different materials sometimes. I'm thinking about doing a series on photography tips and behind the scenes. What do you think?

That is a wonderful idea. I would love to climb inside your noggin for behind the scenes and photography tips! cue confetti

Your photos are a feast for the eyes - and that is all my body can afford to allow you! Every mouthful is entered into myfitnesspal as I try to bring my weight down to something my knees enjoy when walking BUT please allow me to look and DROOL.

Oh, well good luck with your journey and have a great February!
