Photo of the week #5. As usual, Geoff and I do a lot of baking this time of year to get ready for Christmas. These truffles are one of my new favorite recipes:
They are essentially just balls of melted chocolate mixed with sweetened condensed milk that have been rolled in various coatings. We found a bunch of great coatings at bulk barn including colored sugar, coconut, graham wafer crumbs, cocoa, and candy cane sprinkles:

I took the photo of the truffles using a lightbox that I made today using an old cardboard box and some tracing paper. The purpose of the lightbox is to help diffuse the ambient light, which should prevent the formation of any harsh shadows. A lightbox this small is usually used for macro photography, but Annie couldn't resist modelling for a shot:
