Have you ever wanted a chocolate bundt cake more in your life than right now?!

Would you believe me if I said all I did was buy a pre-made small bundt cake at the store and just added more melted chocolate drips to it using a squeeze bottle? Then I chopped up some baking chocolate, added some chocolate frosting to a frosting piping bag, and voila! Looks like a homemade gourmet scene, huh?

I sure do love how food photography can transform a simple food item into a delicious image that instantly grabs your attention. And yes, the girls and I ate the cake : )
