Submission Guidelines

Submitting to SugarBomber
SugarBomber is the go-to guide and lookbook for admirers of all things sugary. Whether it’s a foie gras cupcake or red wine truffle, fellow sweet teeth unite for a common goal: scour local neighborhood restaurants and bakeries across the country to find and photograph great cavity-inducing delights. Send us your shots and thoughts on sugar fixes worth cheating on your diet. In exchange, we’ll post the best ones on our site to share with your fellow sweet treat fiends, and we promise we won’t tell your trainer!

Surviving the Chopping Block
The bites that appear on our site are picked by a team of esteemed foodies, professional eaters and full-time culinary admirers — SugarBomber “Dictators,” as we ever so lovingly call them — who look for exceptional candy, desserts and sweets that are a cut above the typical treats. Times are tough, but join us in combating the doom and gloom by making the world a little sweeter!

Taking the Photos
Here are some insider tips and tricks to submitting your own finds to SugarBomber:

• Direct light is your friend: Everything looks great when bathed in the soft glow of the sun, a 40-watt bulb or even the light from your phone!

• Steady wins the race: In low light conditions, keep a steady hand to offset any shaking from slow camera shutters. Or, better yet, position the camera on the table.

• It’s all about the bites, baby: Clear off any crumbs and remove any distractions from the shot.

• Get up close & personal: Frame the food so that it is the delectable center of attention. Zoom in as much as you can while keeping the bite in focus, and try several angles.

•Bonus points: Why not also submit an interior and/or exterior photo of the restaurant location?

Submitting Your Pics:
You can find our lovely submission form at http://sugarbomber.com/submit.

• Submissions must be at least 350 pixels wide and tall.

• We want to see every flaky crumb and gooey pixel: High quality images are a plus.

• Don’t forget to jot down these vital stats: the place where you snagged this treat, the name of your sugarbomb as it appears on the menu, and the city / neighborhood where you found it. We’ll need those.

• Write a compelling description of the food. Tell us in 40-100 words why your sweet is so delectable and blog-worthy.

• Fill out the form with your images & comments attached. If our Dictators select your sugarbomb, we’ll notify you via an email filled with mirth and joy. Hooray!
