Anyone who knows me knows that I am a cupcake connoisseur. And by that, I mean if you put a cupcake in front of me, I will eat it.
A couple years ago, I had the great fortune to meet Dolores Montoya, owner of Just Desserts of Savannah. Dolores is so incredibly supportive of our local community, and I try to send business her way as much as possible to thank her for all the support she has given my non-profits. So as I sat today wondering what in the world I could do to try and re-shoot my portrait photography assignment, it hit me. Why not make cupcakes educational? As gracious as she always is, Dolores welcomed me on my lunch break to do my homework.
I thought this would be a great time to check out the Food Scene setting on my camera. My subjects were indeed mouth-watering, and I worked to control my temptation and repeated to myself, “you cannot eat your subject… yet.” Dolores even let me have a peak behind the magic curtain into her kitchen. While ovens seem very foreign to me, you can see just how much Dolores shines before them. In fact, she just about beamed as she told me about the different equipment and how at home she feels in the kitchen.
So, take a look at the photos, drool a little, then make your way to Just Desserts of Savannah for a cupcake or cookie fix. (She also does cookie bouquets if you are looking for something different this Valentine’s Day.) Just be sure to take extras with you; just one is never enough.
