John Mitchell Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 There are over 10K pictures featuring cupcakes on Alamy. Do these images actually sell? I'm not a fan of cupcakes, but I have to admit that I really dig this one: D1WJWE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I have a cupcake bakery a few blocks from me. I could be over there in 10 minutes. I don't think they're familiar with the Royal Family though, certainly not the corgis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're familiar with the Royal Family though, certainly not the corgis. Forget the corgis, etc. There must a cupcake with the Empire State Building on it. I'd rush down there right away if I were you. Looks like someone beat me to it with this one: CRDHWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of cupcakes, but I have to admit that I really dig this one: D1WJWE I almost took a cupcake picture, a Canada Day themed one, at the local Farmers Market where I was trying to sell prints (lots of oohs and aahs but not many plunking down their cash) In light of your observation I am glad I didn't.

Brian Yarvin Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 In my case, photos of iconic and trendy foods sell quite well - certainly far better than my travel shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got some very nice food shots. Don't see any cupcakes, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a lot of them so is that unexpected? I'm not trying to be smart, but is that a niche in Alamy perhaps? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some people would call it a specialty instead of a niche. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
