Cake Designs in the Age of AI: More Personalized and Creative Than Ever Before

March 24, 2023 by Roxy

Cake Designs in the Age of AI: More Personalized and Creative Than Ever Before

Today’s post is focused on Cake Designs in the Age of AI. It’s a topic I love which combines my hobby of cake decorating with my professional career in technology.

Cake design is an art form that has been around for centuries, with bakers and designers alike striving to create beautiful and intricate designs that capture the essence of any occasion. But with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, cake design is entering a new era. AI-powered apps are changing the way cakes are designed and decorated, offering new levels of personalization, creativity, and efficiency. From analyzing customer preferences to suggesting design concepts and colour combinations, to helping you design your custom cake and cupcake toppers, these apps are revolutionizing the cake design industry. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at how AI-powered apps are transforming cake design and decorating, and what this means for bakers, designers, and customers alike.

For more AI cake designs, other than the ones listed in this post, check out this link. You will find great cake ideas for themed birthday parties, weddings or other special occasions.

Which AI-Powered Apps Can I Use to Create Cake Designs? 

It’s no secret that I love baking and decorating creative cakes for my family! Oftentimes, I turn to other bakers and online images of cakes to get inspired or learn new cake decorating techniques. Over the past few months, I’ve been testing several AI-powered apps that can generate realistic images and art from a description in natural language. I played with DALL·E, Craiyon and Midjourney. By far, Midjourney is my favourite and produces the best images. Once I discovered it, I obsessed over it for 2 days, creating hundreds of cake designs, some of which I will share with you in this post. 

You can create an account with Midjourney but you have to access it through Discord. Once you’re in Discord, you have to join the Midjourney server and start talking to the Midjourney bot by typing /imagine [whatever you want to see]. It’s super easy to use! At this point you just have to let your imagination go wild and get infinite number of cake designs. 

You can watch these full videos to see how I designed an Abstract Cat Cake or a Cake with Daffodils with Midjourney and how I made them in real life from start to finish. How do you think they turned out? Are they close enough to the original design, better or worse?

Detailed & 3D Cake Designs in the Age of AI

So here are some of my favourite cake designs that are either super detailed or 3D cakes. I’ll be sharing more cakes for each theme in separate posts later on.

Simple Cake Designs in the Age of AI

Someone mentioned recently on social media “these AI-generated cakes are impossible to replicate as they have too many details or you can’t make them glow etc.”. While I agree that not every cake design can be replicated in real life, I also see it as a way to challenge ourselves to make it happen! I love challenges so you’ll probably see me soon trying to replicate some of these designs. I’m especially intrigued by the underwater cakes. 

Also, there is no need to create complex designs impossible to replicate. Try using the tool for simple cake designs like these:

Generate Images to be Printed on Edible Paper 

The AI apps don’t always have to be used to generate cake designs. You can also simply generate pictures of people, characters, vector images etc. of things you might want to print out using edible printers. You can transfer the images to fondant and use them as cake or cupcake toppers. 

Here are some images I generated of a lady’s back, a lion and Wednesday Addams (since she’s so popular nowadays):

AI-Designed Cakes Are Not Always Pretty 

And now, like with any technology, these AI apps are prone to failure too. You won’t always get a successful and realistic design. Some of them are hilarious so at least you’ll get a good laugh out of it! Here are some examples: 

Mickey Mouse with one ear in the wrong place.

I asked the app to generate a pregnant belly cake and I got a little more than a pregnant belly. I was looking more for a cake like the Pregnant Belly Cake I made almost 10 years ago 😊 .

This year I’ll most likely organize soccer-themed birthday parties for my boys. I used Midjourney to get some inspiration for the cakes I’ll make. These are supposed to be cakes showing a soccer shoe that’s hitting a ball 😊:

Copyright Implications for the AI-designed Images 

Now you might wonder, who owns these generated images? The AI app creators? You? 

According to Midjourney, “You own all Assets You create with the Services” if you are a Paid Member.  If you’re not paying for the services, Midjourney owns the assets. The assets mean the images you generate. You can read more about their terms of service here.

AI-Powered Apps – More About Their Benefits and Uses 

AI-powered apps like Midjourney can bring a number of benefits and uses to cake designing and decorating. Some of these benefits and uses include:

  1. Personalization: AI-powered apps can help personalize the cake design process. By analyzing customer preferences and suggesting personalized designs, the app can create a unique experience for each customer.
  2. Time-saving: Cake designers can save time by automating certain tasks such as selecting the right colour combinations or choosing the right decorations. This allows designers to focus on more creative aspects of the cake design process.
  3. Inspiration: AI-powered apps can provide inspiration for designers who are stuck in a creative rut. By suggesting new design concepts and combinations, the app can help designers expand their creative horizons.
  4. Cost savings: AI-powered apps can help reduce costs associated with cake design by streamlining the process and reducing the need for manual labor. This can result in lower prices for customers and improved profit margins for designers.

Overall, AI-powered apps can bring a number of benefits and uses to the cake designing and decorating industry. By providing personalized, time-saving, accurate, and inspirational design suggestions, these apps can help designers create unique, high-quality cakes while also reducing costs and improving profit margins.

Final Thoughts

I’d say most people are still concerned about AI technologies and are reluctant to trust or use them. A common concern that arises when new technologies are introduced is that people worry about the potential impact on their livelihoods (i.e. would AI take away our jobs?).

Having worked in the AI field, I tend to look at the opportunities and embrace new technologies. It’s important to remember that AI technologies have the potential to create new jobs and improve existing ones. For example, AI can automate repetitive and mundane tasks, allowing workers to focus on more creative and higher-value work. AI can also help businesses become more efficient, productive, and competitive, leading to new job opportunities.

Also, these AI-powered apps can be used in your day-to-day life whether it’s for generating cake designs with Midjourney or organizing a birthday party with other AI apps like ChatGPT. I talked about ChatGPT in other posts before such as ChatGPT Tip #2 – Use ChatGPT as Your Virtual Party Planner.
