I recreated the viral 2-ingredient Biscoff cheesecake with AI (no baking)
Viral food trends are massive on TikTok and Instagram right now — the 2-ingredient Biscoff cheesecake is the latest one to hit the algorithm. The opportunity for brands is obvious: ride the trend with your product on screen. The problem: recipe videos take hours to film, and by the time you ship, the trend is dead.
In this tutorial I show how to recreate the Biscoff cheesecake recipe video entirely with AI, drop a Waka Coffee product placement into the frame, and use the new batch processing feature to generate every shot in a few clicks.
Why riding food trends works for brands
A trending recipe is a guaranteed audience. People are already searching for it, sharing it, recreating it. If your product appears naturally in the frame — coffee on the counter, sauce in the bowl — you inherit a slice of that attention without a paid ad. The execution problem is speed, and AI solves that.
Step 1: Pick a winning viral recipe
Open TikTok, sort by trending recipes, find one that's currently surging. Biscoff cheesecake was mine — short ingredients list, visually distinct, easy to model with AI.
Step 2: Analyze the structure
Run the viral recipe video through the AI Media Machine analyzer. Shot list, pacing, transitions, plate styling — all returned in a structured format. Use this as your storyboard brief.
Step 3: The product swap
This is where the brand integration happens. In your storyboard prompt, add the product placement spec — Waka Coffee bottle in the background, on the counter, next to the mixing bowl. Upload reference images so the model places the product consistently across every generated frame.
Step 4: Generate consistent images
Generate the recipe shots with the product baked in. Same lighting, same kitchen, same plating across the entire sequence. Consistency is the difference between "AI ad" and "real recipe video."
Step 5: Batch-generate all the video shots at once
This is the new feature that makes this workflow practical. Instead of animating one shot at a time, batch processing generates every shot from your storyboard in a single pass. What used to take an hour now takes 5 minutes.
Step 6: First-frame / last-frame for the tricky shots
A few shots need precise control — the cheesecake slice pulling away from the plate, the final hero shot. For these, set the first frame and last frame manually and let the model interpolate the motion in between. Cleaner than fully autonomous generation.
The result
A finished recipe ad with the Biscoff cheesecake recipe and a Waka Coffee bottle naturally on the counter. Riding a trend with branded content, in an afternoon, no kitchen required.
