I had photographed a tea set for a ceramicist a few months ago. She wanted to submit the image for a calendar but there needed to be some kind of food in the picture.

She made cornbread and brought it over for me to photograph, and for my wife and I to eat for breakfast the next day. After photographing a piece from the same camera angle, I dropped it into the original image where the cup was located.

The final image shows the cornbread sitting on the tray where the cup was.
