The cake itself disappeared, leaving only the remnants on the body- Expression prompts had a clear effect.

Condition 0: Pie in the Face (Control)
Observation: The pie crust sits on top of the head like a crown. The lower half of the face is covered in whipped cream, with a wide-open mouth surprised expression. Both hands are also covered in cream. The pie crust on head prompt stabilized the crust placement.
Condition 1: Cake Smash
Observation: No cake body visible – only frosting (white cream) and colorful sprinkles stuck around the chest and bikini area. Both hands have cream on them with an arms-spread “oops” pose. The expression is calm, lacking the “got hit” feeling of the pie throw.
Condition 2: Laughing Pie
Observation: The laughing expression produced a chin-up, eyes-squinting belly laugh. Cream covers the lower face with splatter flying off. Compared to the surprised expression in condition 0, this has a fun, enjoying-it vibe. No cream on the body – the composition focused entirely on the face.
Condition 3: Multiple Pies
Observation: The covered from head to toe prompt spread cream chunks and splatter across the hair, shoulders, chest, abdomen, and legs. Cream volume is clearly higher than condition 0, but no pie crust was visible. Even with multiple cream pies, the crust didn’t appear – the output leaned toward increased cream quantity instead. A smiling arms-spread pose emerged.
Condition 4: Chocolate Cake Smash
Observation: Dramatically different from the white cream conditions – the chocolate brown creates high contrast against skin and the white bikini. A pose holding up the chocolate cake with one hand emerged. Brown chocolate frosting covers a wide area of the legs and abdomen, producing the strongest “messy” look. Cake and chocolate debris scattered on the floor too. A seated pose appeared, unlike the standing poses in other conditions.
Condition 5: Whipped Cream Spray
Observation: Unlike pie throwing, this produced a composition of spraying whipped cream from a can held in hand. The cream arcs through the air, creating a dynamic composition. The playful expression prompt produced a smile. Less cream on the body compared to condition 3 – the composition captured the moment of spraying.
Note: The chocolate cake has strong visual contrast against the skin and white bikini. White cream tends to blend into the skin tone, so for WAM content, materials with more color contrast are more effective. The pie crust also appeared sitting on top like a crown in one composition.
