Adventures in Baking... and Lighting

Last night I decided to make cupcakes for David as a special treat when he got home. After frosting 5 or 6 of them, I had an idea.

I chose a really pretty one with chocolate sprinkles, took a bright three-headed lamp from the living room (too bright for that room, actually), and a stack of library books and began experimenting with lighting in the kitchen.

It's no professional studio, but it'll do!

I sat my model on top of an upside-down wine glass and used the books to elevate it. Flowers that David bought me yesterday became a beautiful backdrop for my pink strawberry-frosted masterpiece! I was so pleased with the results!
