Photographing food is brutal work. You have to arrange the food in a pretty way, shuffling the parts around to get the best look.  Then, of course, light it for best effect, making sure it's clear and visible.  And then when you're done, eat it.  This is a dessert we're talking about here.  I can't put it in the freezer, that whipped cream won't hold up.  And then my strawberries are frozen.  And this was shot long before dinner, so I can't leave it out either, the whole thing will melt.  No, there was no alternative.  I had to eat it.

Yup, tough work.  I can only hope that I'm not called upon again to handle this task with brownies.  Or cookies.  That's just too much to bear.
