How to use
The smash the cake shoot turns your baby's photo into the classic first birthday keepsake, complete with a demolished cake and frosting on the face, and it runs in Gemini, ChatGPT or NanoBanana.
Step by step:
1) Send the baby's photo together with the prompt in the same message, so the little face is preserved.
2) Choose the palette in "Palette": pastel rainbow, blue and gold, or pink and cream, always matching cake, balloons and outfit.
3) Adjust the cake in "Cake" and the backdrop with the number 1 and the balloon garland.
4) Confirm the vertical 3:4 ratio, with the baby and the cake centred.
5) Generate a few variations until you find the one with the most genuine laugh.
Tip: also create a "twin" version with the cake still intact and build a fun before and after for the invitation.
