Our favorite place to shoot photos/ by Shelley Lance, Cookbook Coauthor and Blog Editor

Here’s our photographer, Ed Anderson, shooting photos of the rum butter apple pie in his favorite spot- the loading dock behind Dahlia Lounge with a backdrop of alley, pigeons, and delivery trucks.  He likes this spot because he can open the garage door and get plenty of natural light.  Tomorrow is the last day of the photo shoot (fingers crossed), or at least the last day of shooting the recipes.  We prepared over 90 different items (cakes, pies, tarts, cookies, sandwiches, etc etc etc) for this shoot PLUS  3 or 4 dozen more technique shots, plus many atmosphere shots, Dahlia Bakery shots, etc etc etc.  So many people helped us get this huge project done!

Next week, life returns to something resembling normal for me.  I still have to scramble to finish the details on The Dahlia Bakery Cookbook for February 1 delivery to our publisher, but I may find time to put up a blog now and then.
