Hi earthlings!!! I hope you're all doing great.
Baking and photography has a very special place in my heart even though I'm not a good baker nor a photographer. I love and enjoy doing these two. I'm glad that I'm doing these again ANDDD I'm back to the groove in posting here.
I want to share this fun and memorable experience with a good friend of mine. Even though we only met few months ago we instantly clicked like we've known each other for so long. We have the same interests, hobbies and we almost think the same. Hence why we came up with this little "mini photoshoot/project".
Besides chatting and enjoying our company we challenged ourselves to do this. We've been planing this shoot since November. But because she used to work at night and I work during the day our schedule was always a conflict and then COVID-19 happened..... we had to wait a little longer before we could meet up.
Prior to meeting up we've been sending each other ideas and recipes we like to try. It's an on going thing of ours since last year. But then I realized my husband's birthday was coming up so I asked her if we could make a tart instead. And since my husband and I loves lemon cheesecake I've decided to go with lemon as the flavor. Of course he will also get his favorite cake but I thought to at least try to make something for him with a help of my friend. Besides being afraid to bake breads.. pies and tarts are one of the least things I would bake. *sigh*
Day 1 - buying ingredients, finalizing our shoot and making the tart dough
We decided to do a cookie charcuterie board for the shoot. We thought this is something different and a bit challenging since it needs to have different elements and textures. We also didn't want to spend so much time in baking all the cookies. So we thought to buy packaged cookies in the grocery store so we could spend most of our time shooting. And we wanted to use natural lighting so shooting in the morning was the best time. I couldn't contain my excitement while my friend and I were doing this shoot. The last time I did a shoot like this was probably back in college or like 2014. I really enjoyed this one. It felt like I was in my own element. lol. After we did our shoot we ate and rested for a bit and moved on with making the tart tough. I think we finished around 11:00pm :P
Here are some of my final shots
