🎀 Behind the Bakery Curtain… Let’s Talk AI
You may have noticed that some of my photos have gotten a little prettier lately. 😉 So I thought it might be fun to give you a little peek behind the bakery curtain and show you how I use AI with Baked with Love by Christine.
Yes, I use AI to help create some of the beautiful backgrounds, staging and promotional graphics you see on my page.
But here’s the fun part…
The cakes are real.
The cookies are real.
The baking is real.
And every single treat is handmade by me. ❤️
These pictures are a perfect example.
I staged and photographed that Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice cookie right in my own kitchen. AI then helped me take that same photo and turn it into a beautiful fall advertisement — without me needing an entire closet full of pumpkins, leaves and photography props. 😂🍂
And that anniversary cake? The first picture is exactly how it looked sitting on my table after I finished it. The second is the same cake, just surrounded by a beautiful anniversary setting.
When we create these backgrounds, one thing that is really important to me is keeping my actual baked goods as they are. I want the cake or cookie you see to still be my cake or cookie. The pretty setting around it is simply a little extra creative magic. ✨
AI has become a fun little creative assistant for me. It lets me play with ideas, create beautiful settings and make my advertising a little more special — while I get to spend my time doing the part I love most… baking for all of you. ❤️
So sometimes the flowers, candles, pumpkins and pretty rooms may have a little help from technology…
But what comes out of my mixer and oven is 100% Baked with Love by Christine.
And the mess in the kitchen afterward?
Unfortunately, AI hasn’t figured out how to take care of that for me yet. 😂😂
❤️ The secret ingredient is always love.
