Description

An arrangement of dessert ingredients are stacked in a vertical tower against a neutral background. A pile of granulated sugar at the bottom supports two pieces of dark chocolate. Atop the chocolate rests a jagged chunk of white chocolate, which is in turn topped by a square piece of dark chocolate. A dry vanilla bean is positioned to the right side of the tower. The setup is lit with studio lighting that casts soft shadows. The textures range from crystalline to creamy to rough, with a color palette of brown, white, and beige.
