How To Improve Your Food Photography in 5 Steps

Hi! I’m Jennifer and I LOVE to bake, style, and photograph beautiful desserts–I also have an eternal weakness for pastels, berries, and silky buttercreams.

What brings me even more joy is sharing my love of baking with others. Whether that is through recipe development, decorating how-tos, or food photography tips, I want to share everything I have learned with YOU!

I believe in creating food with high quality ingredients and making it look GORGEOUS. I also believe that every dessert deserves a photoshoot, and that food is meant to be shared.

And butter; I believe in lots of butter.

The holiday season is HERE and I’m so excited. ❤️ Who else loves Christmas baking?! The sweets during this time of year is unlike any other.

Baking isn’t just for dessert time though—below is one of my favourite recipes to whip up for a holiday breakfast or brunch: Cranberry Orange Loaf. 🍊

It’s a fluffy loaf filled with freshly-squeezed orange juice and zest, deliciously tart @WesternFamilyca cranberries and then smothered with a sweet orange glaze. Oh how I love it SO much!!

This is one of those recipes you don’t need to be an expert-baker for, it’s that easy!! Head to my fave grocery store, @SaveOnFoods where you can get great value on amazing ingredients that are fresh, colourful, and inspiring!

Happy baking!!

Here is the second design I did for these autumn-themed cupcakes. ✨I absolutely love how it turned out! And the best thing is that it’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it. I definitely suggest practicing piping the leaves onto a sheet of parchment paper until you nail down the technique. 👍🏼

In case you’re new here, I designed these cupcakes for The #BigSocial, which is a national fundraiser in support of @communityfoodcentresca that helps fight food insecurity! I honestly feel like food is my love language—nothing says “I am thinking about you/I care about you” more than being given the gift of delicious food. This is why I’m so proud of the work The Big Social is doing across Canada. 💕

Check out my blog to read more deets about The Big Social and see the full tutorial on how you can make these cupcakes too! (Oh I also have a clip in my stories of how I piped these!)

Do you love giving or being given food/desserts as gifts too? Ahh its the BEST! 🥰

It’s that beautiful time for all-things fall, and that includes our baking! 🍂 I’m so excited—I’ve come up with 3 simple AND approachable ways to decorate autumn cupcakes this season.

From dark chocolate leaves, to a sprinkling of roasted pecans and a maple cinnamon glaze, to piped frosting leaves in beautiful fall colours, your cupcakes will look incredible!! 😍

This month I’m partnering with @communityfoodcentresca to promote The #BigSocial. The Big Social is a national event that brings people together around food to raise funds to fight food insecurity! ❤️

One way to do this is by making something delicious like these cupcakes and dropping them off to loved ones in exchange for donations. And you don’t have to do it alone, make these cupcakes with friends!

Check out my blog for a full tutorial (visuals and detailed descriptions) on how you can easily make these at home too, and to hear more about The Big Social and why it matters to me.

After checking out the post, let me know which of the 3 designs is your favourite! 🥰 I think mine is this dark chocolate leaf.
