Foodography Dinner 2020, a multi-course, dessert tasting menu where you can create a series of fabulous desserts to shape, snap and upload your fun photo. It was an evening of social media trips & tricks, engagement and entertainment.

We had four stations set up featuring - 

  • Choux shapes
  • Meringue islands
  • Brulée Caramel sculptures 
  • Chocolate dreams

The participants worked in pairs and had 20 minutes on each station to style their own plate and then sit down and savour it before the bell rang to move on to the next station. 

Here is the winning shot which was clicked by Misja & Lucie.
