Sorry to be a pest with these "firsts", but I had a lot of firsts this weekend and two birthday cakes to do. This is my first time working with fondant at all and thanks to the tutorial on CC, I think it turned out well.
Someone please tell me the best way to take pics of my cakes. They all come out with distorted colors. This one was chocolate with a pink bow.
Let me know what you think.

You did a great job with the fondant on this cake. Many people suggest using natural lighting when taking pictures. You might also try a lighter background for this one--I think the color of the icing is very close to the color of the counter and that could be affecting this one.
Again, good job on the cake.
I tried to fix your photo a bit in photoshop, hope you don't mind!
when taking pictures of your cakes, try to always set them on a solid colored background, white or black, preferably, depending on the base color of your cake. if you make a light colored base, take pictures on a dark background. if a darker base, take pictures on a light background. try to use as much natural light as you can, and take the picture from the opposite side of where any shadows fall.
very nice job. I love the detail you put on the bow!
Your bow is really great, and I love the stitching detail! Great job!
I also went and fixed your pic! I know someone else already did it now, but I'll post it anyway.
The one thing I notice about your picture is that it has a strong green hue. That is typically caused by flourescent lighting. I would either find a spot where you can use natural lighting, or check your camera for a flourescent light setting that will compensate for that green color in the lights.
HTH!
