{ "subject": "a whole round cake about 20 cm across and two layers tall, covered in white whipped cream spread with a palette knife, with the knife marks still visible on the side; on top, a crown of star-tipped piped rosettes around the rim and, inside it, fresh strawberries whole and halved, glossy, with mint leaves between them. When the reader uploads a photo of their own cake, keep the shape, the height, the frosting, the decoration and the colour of the cake they sent, and change only the counter, the background and the light", "action": "the cake sits on a white ceramic cake stand on the counter; nothing else happens in the scene, nobody cuts it and nobody holds anything", "scene": "a white marble counter with light grey veining; on the left, a crumpled beige linen cloth falling in wide folds; in front and to the right, two whole strawberries with green stems resting on the marble; in the background, a bright, heavily blurred kitchen with white cabinets, a pot of basil, a jar of wooden spoons and a window out of frame", "composition": "vertical image in 3:4 ratio; the whole cake in the centre, taking about 60% of the width, with the top of the strawberries around 25% of the height and the foot of the stand around 70%; the top third is blurred background and the bottom third is the counter with the cloth and the strawberries", "camera": "camera at cake height or a hand's width above it, at a slightly high angle, enough to show the decoration on top without turning into a flat lay; 50 mm lens at close range, shallow depth of field with focus on the crown of rosettes and the strawberries on top", "lighting": "natural window light coming from the left, diffuse and soft; the side of the cake goes from bright to shadow with no break, a light shadow to the right of the stand and no blown-out white in the cream", "color_palette": "warm white of the cream and the marble, bright red of the strawberries, dark green of the mint, beige of the cloth and the background; a bright image, high in whites, natural saturation", "style": "realistic confectionery food photography, in the tone of a home baker's order catalogue; no filter, no HDR and no artificial colour", "materials": "airy matte whipped cream with palette-knife texture, strawberries with a damp shine and visible seeds, glazed ceramic of the cake stand, polished marble, open-weave linen", "details": "keep the palette-knife marks on the side, the crown of rosettes well defined, the shine on the cut face of the strawberry, the green stems of the strawberries on the counter and the background readable as a kitchen with nothing sharp in it", "negative_prompt": "text, letters, numbers, little sign, candle, written cake topper, hand, person, fork, missing slice, dessert plate, oversaturated colour, hard flash light, dark background, real brand, watermark, AI artifacts" }

How to use

People who sell cakes to order lose the sale on the photo, not on the taste: the counter shows up cluttered and the kitchen light turns the cream yellow. This prompt turns the photo of your cake into a catalogue shot, with marble, linen and window light. It works in ChatGPT, Gemini and NanoBanana. 1. Photograph the whole cake, from the front and slightly above. A shot from directly above hides the side, which is where the finish shows. 2. Send the image with the prompt and ask it to keep your decoration: the table, the background and the light change, never the cake. 3. In the subject field, swap in what your cake really has: the frosting, the fruit and how tall the layers are. 4. Ask for the same scene in 1:1 for the feed and in 9:16 for stories. 5. Reuse the same background for every cake you post: a repeated background looks like a shop, a different one every time looks like a mess. Tip: also generate the photo of a cut slice. It answers the filling question before the customer asks.
