I took photograph on my Nikon D5000 on the Food setting and then i changed the contrast slightly on photoshop and the tones. I wanted to make it look like what you would find in a restaurant so i presented it on a white plate against a light background. I put the focus on the treacle sponge and the ice-cream and blurred out from the left of the treacle sponge and the background which i felt worked well with the lighting. I captured the ice-cream melting into the syrup which i felt added that tasty factor. This is a home made recipe by my mum and below is the recipe:
Steamed syrup sponge
Makes 4 individual puddings
INGREDIENTS
Golden syrup
4 oz Caster sugar
4 oz Butter
4 oz Self Raising flour
2 eggs
Beat sugar and butter together until soft. Beat in eggs and self raising flour. Using individual pudding dishes (the plastic ones are best). Place a good dessert spoon of golden syrup into bottom and then equally divide sponge mix into 4 dishes. Put pudding into the bottom of slow cooker, fill with boiling water to half way up sides. Cook for 2 hours. Suggest serving with ice-cream or custard.
Looks good enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you have arranged everything with the sponge and ice cream to the right of the image.
Your white plate looks a bit blue to me but that might just be my screen.
i changed the contrast and toning so the colour blue was enhanced a bit more cos the background is bit blue. I just liked it.
ReplyDeleteAnd it definitely was good enough to eat :D
