Taking Better Pictures: How to Photograph Your Cakes

by Sweet Success Magazine Staff

Professional and eye-catching photography is essential when it comes to having images to use when you market and promote your cake business. Ideally you can hire a photographer to take pictures for you, or ask the wedding photographer for a copy of the images  for the event. Often, photographers will provide you with the images as long as you make sure to give them credit and leave their watermarks intact. However, hiring a photographer for every instance can get expensive, and the wedding photographer doesn’t always get back to you after the wedding. 


If you don’t have access to professional cake images, it makes it quite difficult to create advertisements, social media posts, blog updates, and other related marketing materials for your cake business. The next best solution is to learn how to take images yourself using a few tips and techniques from the professionals. If you have a professional camera, that is great, however you can take clear, high quality images using just your smartphone camera.
