Pictures

We have been asked for pictures of cakes! Everyone wants cakes and but some folks want pictures?!

Well, it is bad enough trying to decorate cakes as pretty, or cool, as possible. Now we have to take photos too?

In all seriousness, though, we have tried, over the years, to photograph many of our items. We employed a student for a short stint about three years ago. I have taken shots from time to time – some are even worthy enough to have been posted on this site. Bubby Rose’s even has its own unofficial official photographer when we can get it together at the right time(s) to accomplish ANYthing at all… (Colin, you know who you are).

It’s tough, you know. We are very proud of what we can do but it is especially difficult to find the time to blow our own horn with panache (ganache?) and vigour.

So bear with us, please and we will attempt to showcase some of our products. Keep in mind, whoever, that we do not strive to impress with fancy eye-catching effects so much as captivate the taste buds!

Thanks for writing, everyone.

Here is a teaser:

    Well. As the unofficial photographer at Bubby’s… how about articles like this one… Yummy cheese cake. Hey I am good to go for any additional photo sessions…

    Well you can’t blame people for wanting to see pictures; they want to know where they’re going to put their money towards. Taste is only half of it.

    Food photography can be challenging… I use a Canon dSLR EOS-30D with some good lenses – but the secret is in the lighting… when I am shooting at Bubby Roses, I use a 300W/s 2 X 3’ softbox and a 3’ umbrella – that is a lot of light… and within a working bakery – just prior to opening, that can be a task… If anyone else wants to give it a whirl with their point n shoot camera or their 35MM, be my guest. :-) I had my first camera in camera in the 60’s and have never not had a camera loaded with film…
