Baked to Success

Hero shot from day two from all of the delicious mille feuille dough, graham pie crusts, and ready-to-bake croissants we made that day.

The days we spent capturing the ready-to-bake magic for this fantastic foodservice bakery were both creative and delicious.

We started by setting up in our photo-ready kitchen, documenting our process of prepping the mille-feuille puff pastry and those perfectly curved butter croissants. It illustrates the ease of prep and many possibilities for these authentic Parisian laminated doughs.

The focus then shifted to the studio, where we created two distinct worlds: first, a clean, modern top-down view that highlighted the precise layers and golden crusts, ideal for a professional catalog. Then, we transported the pastries to a dreamy, angled set evoking a Parisian café, complete with warm, organic light and shadows to showcase the flaky texture and tempting golden brown finish—the perfect mood for their hotel and café clients seeking that irresistible 'baked in-house' feeling.

We were also able to capture some delicious stop motion gifs along the way - perfect for website, emails, and more!
