Example Cake Photography

Photography guidelines

  • JPEG highest resolution possible (300 DPI minimum)
  • Make sure there is extra margin on the top/bottom/and sides of cake in the photo as it will be cropped to allow for bleed/trim
  • DO NOT use a black background
  • SHOT LIST

  • Include at least 3 photos of your cake using a neutral background/backdrop
  • Include at least 1 straight on shot of the entire cake
  • Include at least 4 other “macro” or very close photos of the details from various angles
  • Include at least 2 images of various angles/sides of the cake
  • If doing a cake/cookie/cupcake set, please photograph each item individually, and photograph all of the items together either layered, stacked, side-by-side, or on a pedestal, whatever food styling will photograph well.
  • Last but not least.. be creative! Send as many photos as you can!
