Most cake designers are used to the idea that their work is ephemeral; however, there are few who would willingly watch their creations fall to the floor...on purpose...on film...twice! That's precisely what Nancy Linstead did today.
This was the most elaborate stunt we had filmed to date. Tensions ran high as we practiced with the model, trying to plan how best to cover the shot with one camera. It was lucky that we scheduled this scene in the final weeks of shooting; everyone was super-supportive and kept us (and Nancy) laughing as we worked through the day.
