<p>Thank you so much everyone for your generous responses! They are very helpful to me as I've had a difficult decision as to which type of lighting is the best for me. Back light seems like an interesting technique for me to try! Once again, thank you everyone for the kind responses as now I can proceed to searching for more specific equipment.</p>

<p>Hi! I'm new to photography and I would like everyone's recommendation on what lighting I should get. I have a Canon Rebel T2i with an EFS 55-250 mm lens and an EFS 18-55 mm lens. What I will be taking photographs of are desserts like cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, cookies, and other desserts. I've been searching for what the best lighting is for what I will be taking pictures of and it seems like getting a pair of soft boxes is a great option with a white backdrop. One thing I'm mainly concerned about is if the heat from the light source will be too hot that it'll melt away the cake and other details such as fondant. I would greatly appreciate it if I can get someone's opinion on what I should get. Thanks for your time and I can't wait to see your response.</p>
