Nun buns, sacred and otherwise

At Slashfood we're no strangers to images of holy women in food. We've brought you dispatches about everything from visions of the Virgin Mary in a grilled cheese to her likeness in chocolate. Here's a new one on me, a cinnamon bun bearing the image of Mother Theresa.

But wait, the plot thickens. Said bun was stolen from Bongo Java a Belmont, Tenn., coffee shop about two years ago. The Nun Bun as it's come to be called had been on display for about 10 years before its theft. Fear not dear reader, the pastry is safe. A letter received by The Tennessean states that the pastry has not fallen victim to foul play.

In other nun-related pastry news, there's a another type of nun bun that's not quite as sacred, but probably no less delicious. "Nonnevotten," or nun's bums, are a sticky syrup-laden Dutch treat. Who knew? [via Boing Boing]

Food Porn: Cinnamon Buns

There may be some debate over whether breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, but it is undeniably one of the best looking.

These aren't the first sticky buns/cinnamon rolls that have been seen here as food porn, but all that really goes to show is that cinnamon buns are one of the most visually appealing breakfast foods that you can find. This is probably the very reason that Santos, the gifted food blogger behind The Scent of Green Bananas, chose to use this tempting breakfast scene as an example of how to work with the limitations of your camera to produce some great photographs. This shot uses natural lighting and is not an extreme closeup, so it could be easily replicated with almost any digital camera. To improve your own photography, try staging shots like this one to capture the best lighting in the room. Just be sure to have a cinnamon bun (or several) to practice on.
