8. Photography & AI Transparency Policy
Disclaimer: Every recipe on here is developed, tested and baked by me in my own kitchen. What you see in every single post is a real dessert I made.
How I Use AI in My Photography
To bring you the highest quality visual experience, I use AI tools as a production step to enhance the styling, lighting and presentation of my bakes. I always start with an original, high-resolution photo of the actual dessert I baked and then use AI tools to refine elements like backgrounds, textures, props, and lighting.
As an independent creator, I don’t always have the physical studio space, high-end lighting rigs, or endless prop closets to shoot everything traditionally. Embracing these tools allows me to achieve a polished, commercial-grade aesthetic while keeping 100% of my focus on what matters most: making sure the recipe works for you.
This means:
- The food is always real: The dessert in the photo is the actual product of the recipe as written. I do not generate fake food or use AI-invented food stock photos.
- The styling is enhanced: What is AI-assisted is strictly the surrounding environment: the ceramic plates, the marble surfaces, the background lighting and the styling props.
- Authentic results: Because the food itself is never altered, the texture, crumb, and appearance you see on your screen is exactly what will come out of your oven.
Here’s how it works:
My original photo, taken in my kitchen.
The final styled version used on the blog.
Same dessert, same recipe. Just optimized lighting, backgrounds and props for a beautiful presentation.
I’m sharing this because I think transparency matters, especially with how much AI content is out there right now. If you ever have questions about a specific photo or recipe, feel free to reach out.
