Chocolate, being both addicting and nice to photograph, was a good idea. The blown out highlights detract here though, IMHO.

Over exposed at top and sharpening artifacts around spoon.

The overexposed highlights on this shot are distrstracting.

If it was 'candid' in a cafe, you can use a white napkin, or another plate to bounce some light onto the front side of the cake, to even out the exposure without attacting too much attention.

A little underexposed and soft focus. A tad unoriginal

This isn't lit particulalry well and the details aren't crips enough. This should look lucious and delicious but it isn't tempting me. It looks rather dewey for some reason (frozen, hasn't had time to thaw?). The composition isn't bad but the cake is falling off the lower edge a bit.

Pretty cool macro. Think though the the lightning is not the best, to much flair from above.

Nice composition, but I feel would have been better if not so soft IMO.

Depth of field problem - the spoon and plate are too far out of focus.

should have used plackard or something to shade frosting so it wouldn't glare and look more chocolately.

Lighting looks sa little harsh at the top of the photo, leaving the subject looking underexposed.
