January 6, 2027 is a Wednesday, and one 8-second 720p clip from Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 costs $1.00 on Sume ($0.10 per second list x 1.25 x 8 s). Many bakeries sell a special cake for Epiphany, also called Three Kings Day, so a pre-order clip posted the weekend after New Year can carry the order deadline. Two takes for the week are $2.00.

The whole job is one photo of your real cake, used as the first frame. Make the clip move around the cake; do not let it invent a cake you do not bake.

Calendar around the day

The weekdays below follow from January 1, 2027 being a Friday. Dates for orders and pickup are yours to set.

The request

The first frame goes in frame_images with frame_type first_frame. Omni accepts 3 to 10 seconds in 16:9 or 9:16 and always generates native audio, so ask for kitchen ambience, not music, then add your own track later.

Put the facts in captions

Order deadline, price, size and pickup hours go in captions made with Video captions cues, which burn authored text at the times you give, with no speech. Check them twice; a wrong pickup day is worse than no clip.

Say plainly if the cake contains a hidden figure or nuts, as your local rules require. A video model will not know either.

  • Keep a photo of the finished cake for the order page.
  • Poll the job until completed, then read the first URL in unsigned_urls.
  • Re-rolls cost $1.00 each.
