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??

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.

    Oh Katie those are wonderful, we’ve all gotta have a laugh at life’s little misadventures don’t we… its good for the soul. Thank you for all the fantastic recipes you share with us, I love your blog!

  2. Kelly @ Hidden Fruits and Veggies says:

    Ha, I love that your flan looked AND tasted like soap — did you accidentally make it out of soap? 😉

  3. EVA says:

    Man….I could’ve helped clean up that exploding muffin dilemma. I have my cleaning supplies akl ready to go (by which I mean a spoon)!

    Hey, even the faceplanted muffins STILL makes them look worthy to eat! And I like things a wee bit burnt, so the pecan pie will be cleaned up by me as well! You should hire me as your maid.

    Love the bloopers! Your spilled milk shot is gorgeous. Very artsy!!

  6. Katie says:

    Hahaha, this makes me feel so much better about my own kitchen adventures. I attempted panna cotta last week in cute mason jars…total failure! But I am relieved to see that everyone, even food bloggers, have some mishaps as well. Thank you so much for sharing these bloopers!

  7. Hannah says:

    Crying with laughter here… I can’t remember if I’ve commented before, but in case I haven’t: thanks so much for your recipes, especially the single-serving desserts! Some of them have become staples in my single-lady kitchen, and I can’t thank you enough 🙂

  8. Brin says:

    Aw! I thought your flan looked awesome! I was like “Ive never seen that recipe before! how could I miss it?!” But then I saw it tasted like soap and knew why 😉 only the best recipes make it onto your blog! <3

    The joys of being a blogger and those epic fail pictures. I have a plethora of similar pictures stored on my camera.

    I’ve just recently discovered your blog and I love it. Every little bit of it. And so does my boyfriend, because me reading your blog means new delicious treats are going to show up. 😀 I love that everything here is so healthy and nutritious and sweet and cute and VEGAN! I’m a vegetarian (slowly stepping towards veganism). I recently dropped most dairy products (still haven’t managed to quit cheese and eggs though… Sorry…) and I found so many incredible and easy vegan recipes in your blog that have opened up so many vegan possibilities for me that I did not know about. Thank you very much! Keep up the good work. I appreciate it.
    P.S. – Any healthy after eight imitations?? 😉
