Start with the baked product as the main subject. The course suggests plates, fabrics, wooden boards and a few relevant ingredients; it also recommends negative space and removing distracting objects.

A board is an option, not a requirement. Keep cake setups especially simple, and choose props that support the product rather than competing with it.
