“The Confectioner”
He needs to be careful with his claws, the cream is too good to make a mess with it. His tasty little cakes will be finished in time for the summer party, the ivy growing into his little kichen from all sides, next to all the trees, make him feel very close to nature and are always a nice inspiration for his next sweet creation...
And another owl finished for the "Crafts-Owls series". The confectioner is a Southern White-faced Owl. I need to make more of these to finally have 12 to turn them into a calendar.
Completely done in PS using my Huion Kamvas 22.

The Grand Duchesses and sweets
Scientists working with the dental remains of three of the Grand Duchesses concluded that their dental structure and fillings suggested they were “fond of sweets”.
A favourite of the Grand Duchesses in the palace was Jim Hercules, an African American servant. The Grand Duchesses’ aunt, Olga Alexandrovna, recalls how Jim would spend his “annual holiday in the States and brought back jars of guava jelly as presents for the children.” Jim also brought them other American candy, and toys for their playroom.
The head baker at the palace, Ermolaev, specialised in making pastries and confectionery, and even the yacht Standart was equipped with a confectionery kitchen. However, the children still enjoyed the novelty of foreign imported sweets. In June 1912, it was reported that “when the Grand Duchess Anastasia, daughter of the Emperor Nicholas of Russia, celebrates the eleventh anniversary of her birth on June 18, she will have an abundant supply of American candy. Curtis Guild Jr, American Ambassador to Russia, left New York Tuesday on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse with a trunkful of candy for her.”
In 1916, the Governor of Tver sent the Grand Duchesses pryaniki, a sweet gingerbread cookie biscuit that the region specialised in manufacturing. Sweets were also discussed by fans of the Grand Duchesses: Dolores Sybilla Adam, a teenager from California, once wrote a fan mail letter to Olga Nikolaevna, writing “I should dearly love to make you a great big box of candy and send it to you, from your friend, away in sunny California.”
A love for sweets ran in the family. Conservators recently found a half-chewed piece of sugar paste candy hidden within the dress of the children’s aunt, Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna!

Sweet companies: Here's approximately how many calories and sugar, etc, are in 7 of these sweets.
Me: Cool.. cool. But how many in the packet? Like . . If I ate the whole packet, which is a normal thing to do, what are the amounts I'd be consuming then?
Sweet companies: HERE'S HOW MANY CALORIES AND SUGAR ARE IN 100G!!
Me: okay so there's 100g in this packet then?
Sweet companies: no
Me: then why the fuc-

In the spirit of the festive season, I went and collected some food photos I have stored up over the years, and hopefully wet your apetite and get your ready for what will hopefully be a feast this festive season.
If I remember correctly, the image above was a lasagna kind of thing and it tasted every bit as amazing as it looks.
Click to see more delectable food photos.
I am a sucker for meat and potato combinations.
One of the guiding principles that chefs use, is related to the amount of colours on any plate that they've made. So if a dish includes two vegetables, meat and a carbohydrate, it will have more colours also indicating that it's a more nutritious meal.
Same philosophy can apply in photography as far as colour and texture are concerned, with how the golden-brown of the gravy is the dominant colour, and then the sprinkles of green herbs and orange carrots complementing the image with some addititional colours, and other than that, it just looks amazing.
But that is just a starter compared to what I've got next.
This caramel mountain thing photographed above was a real highlight at a wedding I shot a few years ago.
The 2nd image is in close-up and hopefully gives you an idea of how tempting it is when you see it, and that close-up in the 2nd image, hopefully gives you a sense of how the caramel oozes down those doughnut-like balls, and then placed in this mountaineous pyramid-cone form.
The photograph below is of a platter of chocolate sponge cakes and icing desserts served in shot glasses, and it was a personal favorite at a birthday party I photographed.
I liked how the light from a nearby window gave the rim of each glass a distinct and repetetive shape across the frame. Keeping only on of the glasses in focus means getting the viewer's eye to look into one of the glasses, and that very tasty icing inside.
So I am aware of the difference between shooting food that looks good on a plate in realtime and then real, actual, food photography, where actual food design may be required.
The mushrooms photographed above were actually placed in a box with a black cloth on the floor of the box, and then cutting a square hole into the side of the box, to let in some light, and in this particular case, I placed a diffusion gel over the square hole.
I can't remember if I had any lights going to shine through, or if I was outside and the sunlight was enough, but I definently tried to hit a sweet spot between lighting the mushrooms but not flooding the image with light.
In all likelihood, I would have stopped down on the camerá's aperture to about f10 or f11, and it really is a game of how your eye sees it as to what constitutes "too much light".
Slightly different to the photograph below in which we wer outside with a chair and a black cloth and just made a stand out of the and placed the orange peel on the seat.
I don't remember how hot it was but there was no artificial light used for this shot and when shot in black and white, the texture of the orange peel really comes to life, just makes for awkward-shaped, tree-like lines.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed that, and got a kick out of it or even took something away from it, even if it was just how scrumptuous the food looks.
Thanks for perusing this post.

Are Gushers vegan? Almost all Fruit By The Foot products I've seen have been and I know that glycerin can come from animal or vegetable sources, so would you happen to know which it is in this case?
The glycerin is highly unlikely to be from animal sources, since vegetable glycerin is so much cheaper. The other potential non-vegan ingredient would have been colours, but blue 1 and red 40 are generally derived from coal, petroleum, and tar, not animals. There is the processed sugar issue as some companies use bone char, but that is the case for all processed sugar in the US. It's notable that they do contain palm oil, too. In terms of ingredients though there aren't any animal derivatives.
