The not-so-sexy chocolate cupcake
Hmm...not sure why but I have found it very difficult to take a good picture of a chocolate cupcake. I think the lighting has to be just right. Nevertheless, this cupcake does not look pretty at all. I mean, I can't blame the cupcake. It was the baker and the photographer.
Notice the little bits of chocolate? This is what happens when you don't let the chocolate squares melt all the way. My microwave is out on my porch and it is very difficult to see at night. You can see that I tried to make the cupcake prettier with little Japanese cookies? I know, does not help much. Also, for some reason the frosting was as light as air? Maybe I whipped it too much.
The good news is that they were all ate within minutes. The flavor was killer but the looks? Oh well, maybe next time!

I know using natural light is a big thing, too. (I have a few friends who are food photographers, and they swear by taking food pictures by sunlight.)
Even with the little bits of chocolate in the frosting, I'm still now craving chocolate cupcakes. (Heck, maybe it's *because* of the little bits of chocolate.) Yum!
