Paul and Kelly, a.k.a. The Scarlet Bakery, are the creators of the most divine cupcakes and all things sweet. An artisan bakery based in Dundee, their gorgeous treats are the talk of Tayside and beyond. As well as being available in various outlets throughout the region, The Scarlet Bakery create bespoke cakes for weddings, birthdays and events. The hub of The Scarlet Bakery community here on Facebook where you can place orders and arrange for deliveries.
Paul and Kelly are also a very inspirational and hardworking couple who I have admired since I first met Kelly at a Women Ahead lunch last year. We have been talking about organising a photography session for some time now and it wasn’t a moment too soon when Kelly called to arrange a date as she needed an image for a feature in Scottish Field magazine. You should understand that my enthusiasm for photographing brownies, giant chocolate cupcakes and macaroons has absolutely nothing to do with my sweet tooth and love of all things chocolate. Really, absolutely nothing to do with it.
People have often commented that they feel like they know the subjects of my photographs even though they have never met them. I believe that taking the time to get to know my clients, to relate to them and photograph them with empathy enables me to create photographs like this. All my clients deserve the same care and attention and how better to get to know and love a heart shaped brownie than by, well, eating it? And the cake pops. And the macaroons. And the cupcakes. All highly recommended. They look gorgeous too.
Tempted? If you haven’t already, go visit The Scarlet Bakery and order your treats here. They really are worth it.

Hi Louise, it was great to bump into you this morning and then to find this lurking on facebook later in the day was amazing! Your photography is amazing, you have made the food look like you could reach out and eat it. Fabulous! I can be certain that Kelly and Paul are just delighted.
Fabulous! By the time I had looked at all the images and got to the bottom, I was positively drooling!

Wow! You certainly made them look as delicious as I’m sure they were. Beautifully lit, fab composition and they really leap off the page. Sterling job, sure the bakery is over the moon with them!
