comment How to photograph chocolate?
The question was about how to use the best possible technique for documenting existing chocolate creations, not how to create more photogenic chocolate.

comment What surface to use for food photography?
That's too small. The background in the header photo in the post is 1 meter deep, and I had to chop the pic to 16:9 so the ugly vertical backdrop won't show. The shallow angles I sometimes use eat lots of surface. I don't think I've seen somebody sell cutting boards the size of table plates.

comment What surface to use for food photography?
@dpollitt thank you. I overexposed the header photo about 1.5 EV in post, and also upped the contrast afterwards. While this made the background a real white, I can't do this with most pictures, because it overexposes lots of other things, including my white plates.

comment What surface to use for food photography?
Some very good ideas here, thank you. I'm not sure I will be able to implement most of them (I don't have storage space for many different backgrounds, nor shooting space to create an out-of-focus background in the distance), but it sounds like sound advice for the general case.

Interesting idea, I will try to see what the glass looks like when backlit. But it still has some color, will have to see if that's a problem.

Generally, a wooden table would probably work, but I don't have a wooden table, and my window sill is 10 cm wide only.

comment What surface to use for food photography?
Sorry, if I wasn't clear: paper and cloth are not acceptable, unless somehow treated, because I don't plate everything, and I have to be able to remove fruit juice and grease stains during the shoot.
