October's choice: Pumpkin Spice. by jgoldrup

October's choice: Pumpkin Spice.

Pumpkin is obviously the 'it' flavour this month. I also had a pumpkin latte today. As for the cupcake, it was good...nice and moist. I would have preferred cream cheese icing, rather than butter cream icing though. I was initially put off by Susie's choice to tart up all the cupcakes with tacky Halloween candies, but the pumpkin was actually pretty good - kind of tasted like a vanilla caramel.

So, as you can tell by my posting a close-up shot of my mouth, I've run out of ideas for how to photograph a cupcake. Two more monthlies to go....maybe next time I'll focus on the cupcake rather than something else in the frame (my teeth in this example). It was way too late for retakes once I noticed I'd done that.
I think I'm the only one in the world who doesn't like the taste of pumpkin (latte, cupcake, pie etc). But, I do enjoy chocolate so I use that instead. Totally laughed at your tags! :)

My, what nice straight white teeth you have!! That cupcake looks yummy. I like your mouth in the shot. Gives an idea of the cupcakes fate :)

How could you do a retake if you've eaten the cupcake? Photogenic teeth, though.

@shutterbugger ~ Straightness by invisalign, whiteness by picnik. ;)

@jgoldrup I just read your tags....LOL...dental plans!!

LOL, I feel like this pic could be awesome for some WWYD stuff :-D The cupcake is very colorful, so find some very simple and monochrome location in your house and put that cupcake somewhere in the frame. Like big white wall, just one cupboard on the side and the cupcake is on top of the cupboard....

a pumpkin latte?? that sounds weird. nice shot of the cupcake though, and what straight teeth you have! ;-)

Great shot - sounds like a yummy cake. I like the focus on the teeth in this pic :)

Your focal plane on this is excellent. Perfect teeth = a dentist's worst nightmare :)

If I had teeth like that I'd focus on them, are you a frickin dentist?
Pumpkin yey! the ad-sense ad on the page when I'm writing this is pumpkin pie recipes!

@chewyteeth ~ Nope, just a biologist with a dental plan. ;) Yay pumpkin!
