How to make the Cake-ify (It's Cake) effect in KreatorFlow
Built on BytePlus, a ByteDance company. The effect renders on Seedance 2.5 through BytePlus.
- 1
Open the video studio and add your photo
Pick Seedance 2.5 (Seedance 2.0 works too), set 5 seconds and add your photo as the first frame. A first-frame clip keeps the photo's own shape, so crop the photo to 9:16 first for a vertical clip.

Describe the effect
Describe the object, the knife entering, and what is inside (sponge layers, cream, jam). Putting the object on a cake board is a nice hint. Start from the example prompt below and change the details.

Generate and download
A 5-second clip on Seedance 2.5 costs 24 credits at 720p and 50 at 1080p. Leave audio off if you will add music when you post. The price is shown before you generate, and failed generations give the credits back.
Example prompt
Copy it, or open the studio with it filled in, then change the subject and setting.
Cake-ify (It's Cake) prompt
Vertical 9:16 clip, 5 seconds. A realistic plain white sneaker with no logos sits centred on a cake board on a kitchen counter. A knife enters from above and slices cleanly through it, revealing moist sponge cake layers and cream inside; the slice is lifted away. Macro food shot, soft bakery light, satisfying, realistic.

- Avoid logos and brand names on the object.
- Shoes, bags, fruit and household items make the best surprise.
- Soft bakery light makes the cake look real.
