Enter your details to get ongoing tips on how to take amazing photos with your smartphone
As we all know, in the cake decorating business, photos are everything.
They can make or break the way people see your business. They can show people how good your skills are, how professional you are and, most importantly, what you can do for their next event. Taking a great photo can lead you to many more new clients, because you have captured your cake the way it was supposed to be seen: in an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING light!
Capturing your cake doesn’t just produce new clients. It also gives you and your business the opportunity for your work to be showcased on other people’s blogs, websites and social network pages. That in itself will give your business more credibility in this industry and therefore produce more orders.
So, what we are going to share with you here are all the techniques that a professional photographer would use if they were taking a photo but only had their smartphone! We will teach you a realistic way to capture your cakes without investing in an expensive camera or professional services.
Now the best part about this course is that it is yours to keep forever. You can rewind, pause, or play it over and over again until you have perfected how to capture that perfect photo.
Whether you are a cake decorator, cupcake maker, cookie master, cake pop pro, macaroon creator, dessert stylist, online shop retailer, or anyone else in the dessert industry, this course is a must have for you and your flourishing business.
This is where the course comes into play. It teaches you…
How to Take Professional Looking Photos With Your Smartphone!
Let me ask you if this sounds familiar. You’ve started your own business, you’re extremely excited that you’ve got an order and you’re working until the wee hours to make sure it is perfect. (There may even be some blood, sweat and tears on the job!) It’s finally finished, it looks absolutely stunning and you’re high-fiving yourself over what you have created.
You then take a photo of it from your work station with your smartphone so you can show the world your amazing creation. You deliver the cake, come home and go to post the picture on your website, Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest. Then something unexpected happens, you don’t get a lot of responses and realize the photo isn’t that great. It didn’t capture all the hours you spent. It simply didn’t do your product justice. And after all that hard work, you’re left feeling deflated because the cake is gone and you can’t capture that unique creation again. If something like this has happened to you, you’re not alone!

The thought of buying a digital SLR camera plus lens (minimum $600), buying the correct lighting, taking a professional photography course (minimum $300) and buying all the software (minimum $150) just isn’t an option for you right now, as it’s just too expensive, especially if you already wear all the hats in your business. It can be overwhelming being the – designer, decorator, website developer, bookkeeper and now photographer! If you started this business because you truly wanted to mix your passion with your career and live the working dream, you know it can be challenging at times.

Meet Andy
Andy Knight – Owner of Forscene Studios in Melbourne, Australia & Co-Owner of www.captureyourcake.com
‘I studied Digital Technology after I finished high school and 3 years into University I realised I needed a break from it all, so I packed my bags and sent myself to the U.S.A for 8 weeks, hoping I would find my calling and sure enough I did!
While travelling I was amazed at how the Americans did their advertising; their catalogues, magazines, billboards.
Every advertisement was so eye catching and their photography work was spectacular. It was at that point I knew that I had to delve into the world of photography.
On my return I bought my first camera and immediately took 4 rolls of photos – thinking I had it in the bag. I was so excited to print the photos and very quickly realised how bad the photos were. It was the days of film, when digital cameras were just being introduced to the market, so I could not look at the back of my camera for reference. My photos were almost black, I had used no lighting as I heard professionals do not need to use a flash!
I decided to take the plunge and quit Digital Technology to enrol into a professional photography course.
Upon completion 3 years later my goal was to photograph fashion catwalks. I knew that experience was the key to be successfully selected as a catwalk photographer at L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Week and Melbourne Mercedes Fashion Week. From there the jobs grew. I was shooting many catwalks, catalogues, products and even weddings.
It was in 2011 I took the plunge and opened the doors to Forscene Studios.
With fast success I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the most reputable brands out there.
Whilst working commercially I decided to teach hobbyists’ how to become professional photographers with one-on-one classes as I know just how hard it can be to capture the perfect photo when starting out.
When Miranda Piotrovska, Owner of Sweet Sticks and
www.learnhowtomakecakepops.com, approached me with the idea of creating a course to teach people how to take professional looking photos with their smartphone, my ears pricked up immediately.
I personally know how much time and money it can cost to capture the perfect photo and know it’s almost impossible for micro to small businesses to achieve whilst trying to start or build their businesses.
This course is a way for people to allow their work to shine and get reputable credit on a social media front and also of-course new clients.
We’ve made this course extremely affordable so we can help the micro/small businesses against the big guns out there and get the credit they deserve when they create such beautiful creations.
“I want to empower and encourage people to shine through their passions. This course is designed to do just that!”
“I do what it takes to get the right image, and I try to foresee the resulting image before touching my camera” – Andy Knight, Forscene Studios
Core Video Training Showing You the Step-by-Step Approach
Step by step videos include:
Video 1: Introduction & Equipment
Equipment plays a big part in capturing great images. Without the proper equipment (which isn’t expensive or hard to find, no matter where you live), you’re fighting an uphill battle that you’re destined to lose. So in Video 1, we cover the basics – all the equipment you need to capture great images.
Video 2: Lighting – How to use it in your home or office.
It should be obvious, but the perfect photo starts with the right lighting. Without the right lighting and the correct product positioning, you could be left with a dull, boring, flat image. I’ll reveal how to find the right lighting, how to position your cake and why it’s so important.
Video 3: Reflectors – What they are and how to use them.
Reflectors are an often-overlooked aspect when taking photos of your product. Using reflectors can take your photo from “just okay” to “wow!” We go through how to increase and decrease a shadow to suit your cake.
Video 4: Shooting at night – the 2am rescue.
You’ve been baking and decorating all day and all night, and you need to deliver this cake first thing in the morning! But before you do, you need that photo or else no one will see all the hard work you have put into it. Well, we show you how to capture a great photo (even at night).
Video 5: Composition – Rules of thirds
In photography, composition means how you arrange or put together the items that make up your image. We want to create a composition that captures your cake in the most appealing manner for your audience. Learning what composition is and the using of the “rule of thirds” will help you understand what looks most appealing. We can also use this rule to draw attention to particular areas of the cake.
Video 6: Colours – How to use right colours in your photo.
Using complementary colors can create appeal without the viewer even realizing it and it’s these techniques that will get your photo noticed. We cover what you need to know about using color techniques visually and also emotionally in your image.
Video 7: Props & Set Up
This video is where I show you how to make your cake stand out and dazzle a crowd. Using props in an image is normally reserved for professional photographers. That will all change once you watch this video.
Video 8: Large cakes
Taking a photo of a cupcake and a photo of a three-tiered cake are a little different. The size of each of them says it all. In this video, we cover all you need to know about capturing that beautiful shot of your amazing large cake creation.
Video 9: Dessert tables
Dessert tables play a huge part at all special events, whether they are birthday parties or weddings. You’ve designed it in your head and the only time you see it come to life is when you are setting up at the location. Trying to capture a great photo can be quite hard, to say the least. In this video, we cover what you need to know to create a lasting memory of your masterpiece and get that photo shared over and over again.
