How do I make a Dog Cake Smash video?

Two pets, two slices, one very bad idea

• Go to the template page. Add one sharp photo of a pet for the thrower, whole body or from the chest up, facing the camera, then a second pet if you like (without one, a partner dog is made up). JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each.
• Choose the cake (Cream cake by default), the ending (Smash it back by default) and the place (Kitchen by default). None changes the price.
• Video shape: the video is vertical 9:16, made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
• Consent and sign-in. Tick the photo-consent box and log in with Google. Previews arrive inside a pack, so take one if you have no credits.
• Look at the preview. It is watch-only, 5 seconds at 480p, marked PREVIEW. Check your pets looking like themselves, the cake landing in the right face and the ending you picked.
• Render: 1 credit gives the 5-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.

The sit-down, the flick, the freeze, the comeback

The sit-down (0 to 1.5 seconds), the flick (1.5 to 2.5), the freeze (2.5 to 3.5) and the comeback (3.5 to 5).

The hardest part for the AI is two animals that sit up like people, with cake that has to travel from one paw to one face: the paws have to stay in shape, the cake has to land where it should and both coats have to match your photos. A paw that looks a little long, a crumb that flickers or a plate that shifts for a frame is normal, not a failed render. Treat it as a short, silly clip to watch.
