''[Dawson] is comfortable with herself,'' says Aroch. ''She doesn't need a second opinion to know that she looks good. We were able to riff and try different things. It made for a fun day. She was great in front of the camera. She really loves it.'' Originally, the baked goods were intended as a snack, not a prop. ''We gave her a cupcake. She just walked onto the set and that was one of the first couple frames I snapped. It feels real. That's my favorite kind of picture — when you have a beautiful girl just being cute.''
