### **The Dynamic Prompt Template**
#### **Part 1: Core Subject & Description**
This is the central focus of your image. Be incredibly specific about the cake.
* **[Cake_Description]:**
* **Tiers:** A single-tier sheet cake, a towering five-tiered wedding-style cake, a whimsical two-tier round cake.
* **Flavor/Appearance:** Rich chocolate fudge cake, funfetti vanilla sponge, elegant red velvet, pastel rainbow layered cake.
* **Frosting & Icing:** Smooth fondant, fluffy buttercream swirls, glossy ganache drip, rustic semi-naked frosting.
* **Colors:** Vibrant neon colors, soft pastel palette, classic white and gold, monochrome with a single accent color.
* **Decorations:** Topped with fresh berries, edible flowers, intricate piping, a “Happy Birthday” sign in elegant script, a single glowing candle, chocolate shavings, colorful macarons.
#### **Part 2: The Primary Action – The Explosion**
Describe the nature of the “explosion.” Is it a gentle puff or a spectacular blast?
* **[Explosion_Style]:**
* **Material:** What is exploding outwards? Fluffy cake crumbs, a shower of sprinkles, a burst of liquid filling (like jam or caramel), a cloud of powdered sugar, a cascade of M&Ms or Skittles.
* **Intensity:** A gentle, elegant puff; a dynamic and energetic blast; a contained, zero-gravity burst where pieces float gracefully.
* **Aesthetic:** The explosion should be joyful and celebratory, *not* destructive or messy. Think of it as a magical reveal rather than a violent detonation.
#### **Part 3: VFX – Sparkles, Light, and Magic**
This is where you define the visual effects that make the image pop.
* **[Sparkles_VFX_Description]:**
* **Type:** Glimmering pixie dust, bright and bold starbursts, ethereal light motes, shimmering bokeh effects, realistic firework-like sparks.
* **Color:** Golden and silver, holographic rainbow, electric blue and magenta, warm amber.
* **Behavior:** Trailing with light streaks, swirling in a vortex around the cake, raining down like a gentle shower, frozen in motion with dynamic motion blur.
#### **Part 4: Environment and Background**
Where is this celebration taking place? The background sets the mood.
* **[Background_Setting]:**
* **Simple:** A clean, solid-colored studio backdrop (e.g., deep navy blue, celebratory magenta, minimalist white).
* **Festive:** A soft-focus party scene with bokeh lights, hints of balloons and streamers, and confetti in the air.
* **Abstract:** A dark, empty void to make the colors and explosion stand out dramatically; a swirling nebula of colors.
* **Magical:** An enchanted forest at twilight, a whimsical candyland.
#### **Part 5: Artistic Style & Medium**
This determines the overall look and feel of the image.
* **[Artistic_Style]:**
* **Realism:** Ultra-photorealistic, cinematic still, high-speed photography, macro shot, 4K, 8K, high detail.
* **Digital Art:** 3D render (like Pixar or Blender), digital painting, concept art, vibrant illustration.
* **Stylized:** Anime-inspired, fantasy art, watercolor painting, whimsical storybook illustration.
* **Keywords:** Unreal Engine, Octane Render, trending on ArtStation, hyper-detailed, intricate.
#### **Part 6: Composition, Camera, and Lighting**
How is the scene framed and lit? This has a massive impact on the final result.
* **[Camera_Shot_And_Angle]:**
* **Shot:** Medium close-up on the cake, dynamic wide shot showing the full scene, extreme close-up (macro) on the exploding details.
* **Angle:** Eye-level view, dramatic low-angle shot (making the cake look monumental), high-angle top-down view.
* **[Lighting_Style]:**
* **Type:** Soft and celebratory studio lighting, dramatic backlighting that creates a halo effect around the cake, warm ambient light (as if from candles and party lights), vibrant neon glow.
* **Effects:** Volumetric lighting (light rays visible in the air), lens flare, god rays, glistening highlights on frosting and sparkles.
