Cups in a Cake

Let's be honest here, I've had many discussions about red velvet cake and either people love it or hate it. And usually they hate it because they're annoyingly unadventurous and haven't even tried the cake. (Not that eating red velvet cake requires an adventurous personality). So if you're one of those people out there who haven't tried this comfort cake, then seriously, take a step back and listen to the sobs of your poor taste buds!

And if you're one of those people who DO NOT KNOW what red velvet cake is, then READ THIS IMMEDIATELY...  Red velvet cake is, surprisingly, a Southern chocolate cake indulged in blood-red food coloring. Beet root was actually used instead back in the days to enhance the color of the cake, but I heard it still tastes good...! The cake is usually topped with roux icing (fluffy french icing), buttercream frosting, or more commonly, cream cheese frosting. 

For real, man-to-man talk now, eat some red velvet cake. It's delicious. 

These pictures were one of the first I took with a new 50mm lens I got. This lens is perfect for taking people pictures and the beauty of this lens is that it focuses on one subject and makes everything else blurry. This lens is a work of aperture and depth of field. 

In case you didn't know, this is not what red velvet cake looks like. My sister wanted to make red velvet cupcakes but didn't put enough food coloring, which is why it looks pink! Silly sister... but the cupcakes tasted as good as hot fudge brownies with ice cream, or raspberry cheesecake, or warm pumpkin spice pie, or even some s'mores. So good!

Hope I got you craving for some sugar and sweet and keep an eye out for some food photography!

A Pic in a Pic

I can't say this is a picture in a picture, it's more like taking a picture of a camera taking a picture but I never took a picture on that camera, I just captured a picture of the camera that's pretending to take a picture... jkjk! Sorry for the confusion (even though I know what I'm saying through all the poor writing), but thats just mumbo jumbo, sorta like this picture...

There's so much going on... the camera, the screen on the camera, the roses, the sunlight, the window, the outdoors, the table, and all the other space-fillers. 

 I deem this picture to be far simpler and easy-going, agreed? I bet if this picture could transform into any animal, it would choose to become a humpback whale... cause a humpback and this picture has a a calm demeanor, but still powerful. Just stare at the picture... so domestic and serene... 

And the picture above? Phew, that would become the most-attention-seeking crow in the photographic world. I bet it's so loud, the movie world could hear it cawing, all like "Cawww cawww I need more light, cawwww get more flowers and focus on my beak!" 

Haha just kidding, I like these pictures a ton and even though it's not what I visioned them to be, I'm glad to have checked off "a pic in a pic"!
