How to use this prompt
To use this prompt professionally, leverage it for deceptive food art, bakery promotions, or surprise dessert visuals in culinary and advertising. Use AI by replacing "[object]" with "shoe" or "book," keeping "hyper-realistic digital illustration," "partially bitten," "slightly overhead angle," and "photorealistic style" for illusion. Do not change the cake layers or diffused lighting. Changing to "camera" could produce tech-themed cakes, leading to crumb reveals, while original yields appetizing, whimsical results.

Use a slightly overhead angle to emphasize the contrast between the realistic outer shell and the cake interior. Illuminate the scene with soft, diffused lighting to enhance textures and cast subtle shadows for depth. Keep the background minimal and bright to focus on the deceptive dessert.
