Who doesn’t love chocolate souffle? Maybe an amateur food photographer? Like me?? I knew I would have to be quick to get a picture of a puffy souffle before it collapsed. The window of opportunity was small so I was ready.
Dishes in place. Powdered sugar ready to sprinkle. In fact, you can see real coffee in the cup if you look closely.
But I’m not that good. I need time to take at least 50+ pictures so I have plenty to chose from. I watched it fall before my very eyes as I desperately adjusted the light, the aperture, the props, etc.
So I gave up and ate it. YUM! Miss chocolate breath didn’t care anymore whether she got a good picture or not.
Thanks, Susan, for choosing the classic chocolate souffle this week. (Gave me a good excuse to buy some new corning ware. ) You can see the recipe at http://doughmesstic.blogspot.com/ .

Looks very good to me – fallen or not! I am intrigued by your organizational skills!
Thanks for sharing!
Well believe me you did get a good shot! Beautiful
I love those dishes! I forgot the egg yolks in mine and was expecting the worst. But even yolkless it was good!
Your photos are beautiful. Thank you for the welcome comment. Looking forward to many more yummy recipes.
Your picture is gorgeous. Puffed up or fallen this souffle was delicious. These were so yummy. I actually burnt my mouth because I couldn’t even wait for it to cool off.
I LOVE your table setting and colors… perfect for chocolate – it just POPS! And speaking of “falling”… I know how that goes – but at least yours looks “even”.
Very nicely done! I’m the same way, I love to take 20 pictures and choose…often there’s nothing falling or shrinking or bursting, so it’s not a problem. This was a little different – but your end result looks fantastic!
Your blog is fantastic! Totally love it. It is so professional looking.
Your soufflé came out amazing! Looks like you got a lot of air and a lot of height into it.
The photos you took are really pretty and show it off well too.
Sometimes it’s best to just put down the camera and eat some souffle! Yours looks like it came out beautifully.
It looks beautiful. They fall so quickly that it is hard to photograph, but the taste – YUM!!!
BTW. I go to the food blogroll periodically, but not as often as i thought. But your blog comes up randomly and I have had people show up from there.
AND as I write this, Salad in a Jar is listed as most recent 5 blogs, so looks like you did go.
Oh does that ever look delicious. I’m learning a little about food photography with a book I’m writing and have become so aware of photos in cookbooks. There’s an art to it and you did a good job.
Happy Twirls

What a lovely setup you created for your Chocolate Souffle! The chocolate souffle looks beautiful! I love how I can see the different chocolate color variations and texture in your photo! If you’re an amateur photographer then what does that make me – something below amateur, even below novice since I have no idea what aperture is… =)
