Here we are at Day 47.  This week I have really struggled to come up with something to shoot.  I haven’t really been satisfied with my subject matter. 

Tomorrow is my birthday and my wife surprised me with this chocolate cake.  I figured it made an appropriate subject but after a long day of work I honestly wasn’t really into it so I didn’t put too much thought into it.

I shot this with a Canon 5DII, a Canon 580EXII with a Lumiquest Softbox held in front and above the cake.

The cake is a chocolate cake with white chocolate decorations and topped with a tier of chocolate dipped strawberries.  All made and created by my wife.  It looks delicious and I can’t wait to eat it tomorrow.  Is it wrong to have cake for breakfast?
