Fancy Nancy
January 25, 2008When I started out in the photography business (gasp!) 17 years ago the last thing in the world I was interested in photographing was children. Don’t get me wrong, I have always loved being around little ones. Kids and I are kindred spirits. We go way back. So everything else in the big wide world—I photographed. I made a living in the wedding business, studio work, fine art, modelling, you name it. Fast forward to the present and I am truly overjoyed to have spent the last several years of my time with kids and my camera. I do admit that I get a wee bit of rush of excitement once in awhile to be commissioned to photograph other subjects too. Enter Fancy Nancy. Enter…yummy sweet delicious artistic cakes. CAKES! I drool. Now, the beautiful photographs on her website are not a product of mine, but I did get to spend a morning with the creator Juliet Sear to shoot her cake creating process for an upcoming feature story in the magazine Black Meringue. Here are a few photographs from the last few steps. Get your fork!
The finished product:
Tres yummilicious vanilla marzipan brandy berry goodness:
Oh yes my friends, I had a sample of every cake that day. How could I refuse??
Indulge.
