Photographing Your Cakes Well!

How to quickly take GREAT photos of your work and then edit them to make them even better!
Notes: When the sound got funky while recording, it was because I was showing the setup and mentioning how I could easily move the light stands around.
The editing software I use is Picmonkey.com.
The DSLR camera I use is an old Canon, model EOS 30D, with a (usually purchased separately) 50mm lens.
What we covered: rotate, crop, levels, dodge, colors (including white balance picker), airbrush, clone, vignette, focal soften, textures, and adding your logo (using "add an image", fade, color via eye dropper), then resize & save.
