What size do these print at?

Each photo is composed at a clean crop suited to a menu board, a print or a packaging label.

Can I get a different pastry, like a cinnamon roll or a tart?

Yes — the direction field takes any pastry, and the same three-light set renders it.

What's the difference between the three lights?

One favours the flake of a torn croissant under raking light, one catches the crumb of a cut cake, and one is lit for a glossy glaze close-up.

Can I use these for my bakery's menu or packaging?

Yes — these are generated images meant for menu boards, packaging and social posts, with no real pastry photographed.

Pastry photography: croissant, layer cake, glazed doughnuts

Pastry photography — A butter croissant torn open on a marble slab, the honeycomb of laminated layers showing inside, flakes shed across the stone, a curl of steam from the warm centre, and a knife with butter on the blade beside it., broad soft even daylight from directly above, light and open with a faint shadow at each edge, on a sheet of brown baking paper

Reading 3Glazed doughnuts

The counter at eight in the morning: a croissant torn open, a slice of layer cake, a tray of glazed doughnuts still setting. A bakery sells texture — flake, crumb and glaze — and these nine render three lights, each making exactly one of those three legible. Ask for a different pastry — a cinnamon roll, a tart, a macaron — and the same three lights carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
