How to make a cake slice or dessert reveal video for a home bakery

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add a photo of your cake or pastry to Rift and tell Spark the reveal, such as a knife cutting a clean slice to show the layers or ganache pouring over the top. Check the Draft, then tap Make. You get a video of up to 15 seconds in your Library. A sharp photo of the whole bake in daylight gives the closest match.

Add a photo of your cake or pastry and name the reveal, like a knife cutting a clean slice or ganache pouring over the top. You get a video of up to 15 seconds with no extra filming per cake.

What you need

Step by step

  1. Add the photo, or both. Open Rift and add the bake and the slice shot.
  2. Describe the reveal. What moves, what it shows.
  3. Check the Draft. Spark shows the shot and what stays: your decoration and colours.
  4. Make. Tap Make and see the price on the button first.
  5. Post it. Find the clip in your Library.

Tips for a clean result

Beyond cake

Bread, pies, ice cream, bao and brigadeiros all suit the same steps, and so does a market stall display.

Questions people ask

Will the inside layers match my real cake?

Spark cannot see inside a whole cake. Add a photo of a cut slice, or name the layers in your line.

Can I make a video for a custom order I haven't baked?

Yes, from a description, but your photo of the real bake is closer.

Can I put a name on the cake?

Writing that is clear in your photo carries through. Check the Draft.

Does it work for cupcakes and cookies?

Yes. Any dessert works: pastries, brownies, donuts, macarons.

Can I show a tiered wedding cake?

Yes. Add a photo of the whole cake, say the reveal, and check the tiers in the Draft.
