Christmas Dessert

Some traditions have managed to remain over the course of this miserable year. Christmas itself may not have been done as usual, but My Lovely Assistant still put her talents to use and baked a marvelous dessert.  It was sad that we weren't able to share it with anyone, but it was also great that we didn't because it meant more for Your Friendly Neighbourhood Photographer.  This is always one of the more stressful photographs I take because My Lovely Assistant does such a great job making her Christmas desserts, which was a double chocolate and pear yule log for those of you wondering, that I don't want to screw up the shot.  We lit up the Christmas tree, turned off the kitchen lights and bounced some flash off of the ceiling while taking the photograph at f/5, 1.6sec, ISO 100 at 50mm.  1.6 seconds for the photograph, but it was eaten at a much faster speed.  I hope that all of you out there had just as tasty a dessert for your big day.
