Lately, we have experienced some trouble with our oven. Overcoming these difficulties (by application of an oven thermometer and dialing in some temperature compensation) my wife has managed to bake one of her wonderful cheesecakes to her satisfaction again. Here is what it looked like in all of its scrumptious goodness before our guests found it:
Cheesecake with Pink Rose
I think that Andrew will be most pleased; now that harmony has been restored, my wife can try his delicious cheesecake recipe. :)
In case you are interested, I deliberately underexposed by about -2 EV to get rich, saturated colors. Yes, the browns are now very dark, so the edges look like they may have been baked a bit crispy. If this was for a cookbook (instead of a mood shot), I might use a mask in Photoshop to lighten the edges of the cake. As it stands, I prefer the mysterious, moody richness hinted at in this image.
Excellent Picture, First I though that it is picture of flower. After reading I realize it is a delicious cheesecake. I am still not sure if the flower is a real flower or a cream flower. :-))
ReplyDeleteThe flower is real, I cut it myself from a rosebush in the garden. :)
