St. Patrick's Day Spirits and Sweets

March 17, 2018 in food, firsts, learning, photo shoot

What better way to celebrate St. Paddy's Day than with an Irish-inspired boozy chocolate cake and some whiskey? This delectable dessert is a Chocolate Guinness cake complete with Bailey's Irish Cream frosting and a dusting of chocolate powder. It was a sweet dream come true photographing this last fall!

Concept: Adult Dessert and Drinks, something wintery feeling but not stereotypically holiday-ish. Use ambient lighting only.

  • Food Stylist: Alicia Deal
  • Prop Stylist: Julie Maldonado
  • Assistant: Garrick Wong
  • Photographer: Jung Fitzpatrick
 Fancy Chocolate Bark: Orange zest, lavendar, and pomegranate arils

I've learned that planning a test shoot in the fall is probably not the best in terms of timing. Everyone, including myself, gets busy with work. That seems to be the one of the seasonal high tides for gigs in the image making industry. I almost thought this shoot wasn't going to happen. I had the studio booked and Alicia on board; confirming a prop stylist who was available on our scheduled day was challenging to say the least! In any case, it worked out last minute and I'm grateful to Alicia and Julie for collaborating and bringing their skills to the shoot.  Also, big thanks to Garrick for the assist and black and white BTS shots below! My BTS shots in color :)

Wonder bread sandwiches, ambrosia salad, a month of planning, pulling together a great crew, and scrappily sourcing props - just a sample of what it took to make this shoot happen!
