The prompt
Turn the uploaded photo into a birthday cake-smash photo of me: laughing with white cream cake smeared across one cheek and my chin and down the front of a plain black T-shirt, a half-crushed cake on the table in front of me, a friend's hand still pushing it at the edge of the frame, balloons and streamers in a living room behind, bright flash from in front of me, my face sharp under the cream, no text. Keep my face and facial hair exactly the same as the uploaded photo — do not alter my facial features.
“My face sharp under the cream” is the line that matters: the cream is an effect, and effects are where faces drift.
How to use this prompt
From your photo to this look in under a minute
- Tap Copy on the prompt above.
- Open ChatGPT or Gemini and start a new chat.
- Attach your photo: clear, front-facing, decent light, no sunglasses or beauty filter.
- Paste the prompt and send. Change the outfit, place or number first if it does not fit you.
- Check the face first. If it is not you, regenerate or run the same prompt in the other app.
- New look, new chat. Chat apps carry details from one image into the next.
The face-lock line at the end of the prompt is what keeps the result looking like you. Do not delete it, and do not add “looking away” or “over my shoulder”: say where the camera is and let the scene decide the angle.

Frequently asked questions
Does this prompt work in Gemini as well as ChatGPT?
Yes. It is plain English, so it runs in Google Gemini on its Nano Banana image model and in ChatGPT on GPT Image. We publish the ChatGPT result; attach your photo in a new Gemini chat, paste the prompt and send. If one app misses, run it in the other.
Will it keep my face?
The prompt ends with the face-lock line, “Keep my face exactly the same as the uploaded photo — do not alter my facial features”, says “my face sharp”, and never tells the app where to look. Those three habits kept the face in almost every run across our prompt pages. Use one clear, front-facing photo and check the face before you post.
Which photo should I attach?
We used our male test persona, an AI-generated face, not a real person. Attach a clear, front-facing photo of yourself in decent light, no sunglasses and no beauty filter; for a two-person look, one photo with both of you in it.
Is this prompt free?
Yes. Copy it, change the outfit, place or number to suit you, and use it. ChatGPT and Gemini both have free plans with a daily image limit.
