My roommate was making Jello shots and cupcakes last night. It was a brilliant combination, resulting in the stickiest surfaces EVER. I think the "stick-factor" rivals that of a 4 year old. These cupcakes were strawberry flavored, and then filled with a homemade blueberry jam, topped with funfetti icing. They were delicious!
For the image, i used a little studio set up on my desk. I made a seamless with a piece of paper, and then lit the cupcake from the side using my off-camera flash. I took a few with the cake lit from behind, which my roommates thought were great, but I thought the lighting was too contrasty, and it looked like morning light shining through a window. Probably a set up better suited for pancakes. This lighting was my favorite... It's a little dark in the front though, as I need one more reflector to bounce some of that light onto the front surface.
