Hi Yall!
I am so bummed out. I just finnished my Wilton 3 course on Tuesday nite and I have been taking pictures of my cakes on one of those instant camera things, and wouldn't you just know it, only a couple of the practice ones I did at valentime's even shows up!! My finale cake, which I was so proud of, only shows the outline. I know it's silly, but I feel like I did all that work for nothing as I have nothing to show... I was so looking forward to posting my cakes on here. Oh well, it's not as if I won't be making other cakes, and I found my good camera, so hi-ho, hi-ho, it's back to baking I go!!! Thanks for listening to me whine!!!

What a bummer! Many of my first cake photos were sad also. I learned a few tricks from a pro AND got a better camera.
Try using a tri-fold display board (used for 4-H projects, etc.) as a back drop. This helps your cakes stand out and the background (usually a messed up kitchen) from being seen.
Good luck with cakes and photos.

Thanks Sugarflower. I have to admit i wasn't careful in taking the pictures and after all, it gives me the excuse to make lots of practice cakes!!! I got my shutterbug son on the case now, he'll help me get it right too!!! Besides, after reading about little baby Sophia, this seems small indeed!! Thanks again, i appreciate you and CC!!! Linda
well if it makes you feel any better. I learned a lesson the very hard way. I had taken pictures of all my cakes, on my digital camera. Stored them in my computer and a virus hit. I lost EVERYTHING, there were about 30 pics of cakes. And you guess it, I did not back them up on a disk! Now I have to rebuild my portfolio...

Funny, you just wrote that, as I was just thinking that's exactly what I need to do today. Baked all these things last night and tried to take pics on my dining room table with a drape over a very tall vase, and it was still hard trying not to get anything else in the picture.. Seen someone, maybe you? in the gallery using them.. great idea.. 
If it makes you feel any better, I never got to even take any pics of my cakes from my class. When I got home from class I put the cake box (with 2 cake in it) on the counter in my kitchen. My, at the time, just turned 2 year old pulled the entire box and both cakes onto the kitchen floor. I was so upset I cried. It was a Wilton in a weekend class, so I had piped ALL day and my hand hurt and I was looking forward to at least eating some of it. Oh well. HE ate some of it!
