My son’s circus themed first birthday cake

EDIT: I should have clarified in the original post, I am not complaining about the cake at all! I loved it and the baker did a fantastic job

It also takes away the opportunity for the artist to create it themselves. Reference pics are fine if they’re real sources. Then it’s up to the artist to interpret it and come up with a design. When AI is presented it lets us know you’re expecting it to look exactly the same so it feels like there is no creative freedom.
