How to use this prompt
Assign one food to each tier in the prompt, bottom to top: sandwiches, then scones, then macarons. That order is how a traditional tea is served, and spelling it out stops GPT Image 2 from mixing everything on every plate. The 4:5 frame exists for the stand's height, so keep the camera slightly below the top tier to make it tower. Pastel macarons carry the colour; ask for the teacup pattern as 'small and delicate' so it never fights them. Lace and silver signal 'British hotel tea' — swap them for linen and stoneware for a rustic version.
Variations to try
