I call these adult sundaes. Although, when my shoot was all said and done it looked like a toddler got a hold of his mom’s spoon and really went to town throwing ice cream everywhere. Either way I had adults in mind when I came up with this concoction. Yes, that’s right, I made my own sundae recipe. (So this post isn’t 100% about photography… just 95%.) I guess I had to start somewhere easy when it came to creating a recipe… sundae’s aren’t rocket science.
Recipe: Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream, Trader Joe’s Carmel Waffle Cookies (they take place of a waffle cone), Carmel Sauce and sprinkle with Sea Salt. There are a few shots where I skipped the salt and added whip cream and dark red cherries instead. Both versions were awesome. I know, because I made bowl after bowl and eventually ate all the bowls throughout the remainder of the week. …I have an addiction with ice cream.
I don’t have an assistant with all my shoots, but when I do, it’s amazing. It’s so nice having an extra hand. I always let my assistants set-up their own shots and take their own images. I learn by doing not watching and I assume a lot of people fall into the same boat. This is Christiane Butler, she’s awesome! Thanks Christiane. 🙂
Beautiful shots! And now I am hungry for chocolate at midnight. Thanks a lot, Aubrie! 😉
Now you’re making me hungry. Maybe I should photograph ice cream and brownies and cupcakes so I can eat the props!
Oh my gosh. Now I really want a sundae. That looks delicious. Gorgeous photos and really great tips as always.
Awh, thanks for the shout out! I love working with you, I’m going to (in a positive way) blame you for my discovery of loving food photography! Thanks for all the opportunities you’re giving me!
I’m lactose intolerant and don’t like chocolate ice cream, but even these photos made me sorta want one… I also was wondering, did you use chilled bowls/plates/spoons as I think I heard this is something to do when taking pics of ice cream, or maybe not if you already knew this was the kind of styling you were looking for?
