My wonderful wife made a wonderful cake. It did even taste better than it looked. Trouble with "professional" bakery products is often they look perfect but taste so so. I sing the praise of this cake in some barren pictures...

That is a good looking cake.
The first shot feels unbalanced, the vase on the left doesn't seem to serve a purpose in the composition. The details pictures of the cake are good. The last photograph, the action shot, I really like. Perhaps if the glassware in the background at the top of the frame was not there it would be even stronger, but I think it works well regardless. Great light.
Are these made with the 35mm ais?

Looks likes yummy !
Last one is my fav : you just applied the piece of advice you gave me recently and I have to say that it works well. :)
An overall lack of DOF according my feelings, but stopping down would certainly require some artificial light, I guess ?
I am getting hungry now... :P

Frank, can I have a piece?

These pictures were taken on 5/5/2009 with Nikon D3 and Micro Nikkor 60mm, I cannnot say which. Light is daylight from a set of windows
Pictures were taken spontaneously and Charlie your are spot on with your observation and critique.

a cake worth photographing is usually a cake worth eating (in this case at least). Mongo feels like each image is a chapter in the various aspects of the life of this cake - each gets us closer and more involved with it's it true nature. Must agree with what you said - some professional images do look too perfect (and unreal) and the subject can be very so so in the tasting. This cake looks very real and homemade.
Now, the important question. When does Mongo get his slice and how do you intend to achieve the home delivery ? ;D
