What You Don’t See On The Blog


About a year ago, I published Part 1 of the blooper series:

Food Photography Gone Wrong & How To Photobomb Like Batman.

Seeing as there have been many more food photography bloopers since that post, it is high time to publish Chocolate-Covered Katie Food Photography Bloopers Part 2, with all the spills, explosions, and unsightly messes in a day’s work for a cook and food photographer. Things are about to get ugly…

spilled milk

Don’t cry over spilled Cereal Milk.

The Gladiator Chipwitch!

That totally looks like the one you remember from childhood, right??

dog on table

Dear Batman,

Please vacate the table so that I can use it for a photoshoot.

Thanks.

exploding cupcakes

Exploding cupcakes!!

That was fun to clean 😕

pecan pie

Anyone want a slice of burnt chocolate pecan pie? No? No takers?

I can’t possibly imagine why…

Or this.

I was going for flan. But it looks like soap, and it tasted like… also soap.

    Hehe!! My worst was when a whisk fell out of melted chocolate. In the process of falling chocolate exploded across my kitchen.

  2. Jules @ WolfItDown says:

    Haha, love these posts! Thanks for sharing! I am sure a lot of fellow food-bloggers can relate, I know I certainly can! x

    You still manage to get those photos to look impressive. How clever to catch the brownie photo mid-fall!

  5. Leigh says:

    Love the behind the scenes! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

  6. Emily @ Sweet Summer Smiles says:

    Haha! This is funny! I love bloopers of any sort, however this is the first time I’ve seen it on a blog. Thanks for the laughs! 🙂

  7. Hollie says:

    It is always interesting to me to see that fancy chefs as yourself have these issues! I love your taglines, I loled at the commentary.

  8. Lucia says:

    I love the whirligig brownie bites. Action shots could be the latest frontier in food photography!

  9. Janelle says:

    Isn’t it great when pets can get in on the food blogging action? My cat definitely doesn’t like to be left out of any photo shoots, but I mostly just end up with pictures of her chin as she tries to sniff the camera.

  10. Medha & Whisk & Shout says:

    Even funnier than the pictures is your commentary! Your flan/soap comment had me cracking up 🙂 It can be sooo frustrating when pictures and recipes don’t work out, but when you look back on them they’re easy to laugh about!
