Hey everyone!
When you’re photographing a dessert, have you ever wanted to add that perfect swirl of whipped cream but didn’t know how to do that AND get it to stay in place for a long time?
I’ll let you in on a little secret…shaving cream.
Shaving cream will be your best friend next time you need to photograph that perfect dessert. All you have to do is grab some Barbasol or whichever brand you prefer and squirt a large amount into a piping bag. Then add your star tip. Get a firm hold on that bag and squeeze in a circular motion around the top of the dessert. To get the nice tip at the top, you just need to press down lightly and come back up. Here are some examples of my swirled whipped cream!

Look at how the light hits the swirls so perfectly and shows dimension. These desserts stayed looking fresh for quite a while!
