The Cherry On Top

Let me start by saying that this shot was a lot of work. First off I only had my 75-250mm telephoto with me, so setting up for a macro shot on a small table was a challenge. I had to play with distances, angle of the cake, height of the stack of books under the camera, shutter speed and the timer. Oh, and people moving around the room throwing shadows. In all, I took 25 shots before I knew this 1 second exposure was the one.
