How to Create Cute Baby Food Feeding Videos That Go Viral on TikTok

Have you ever scrolled through TikTok and suddenly stopped because of a video showing a tiny baby made of food being gently fed with a spoon? It looks ridiculously cute, a little funny, and honestly kind of hypnotizing. One second you’re just scrolling, and the next thing you know, you’re watching it on loop. Yep, that’s the power of baby food content.

What’s even crazier is that it’s not just you who finds these videos adorable. Content like this has already gained millions of views across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. People love watching something that feels oddly satisfying, wholesome, and creative at the same time. The mix of food, baby-like expressions, and gentle feeding triggers pure “aww” energy.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to make content like this too,” then you’re in the right place. In this article, I’ll walk you through the full process step by step, from preparing the right prompt to generating images and turning them into animated videos. Stick around until the end, because once you understand the workflow, you can create your own viral baby food videos anytime you want.

Step 1: Preparing the Prompt

Before we jump into generating anything, the most important part is the prompt. A good prompt is what separates an average result from something that looks hyper-realistic, cute, and scroll-stopping.

Here is the image generation prompt that we will use. You don’t need to rewrite everything. You only need to change the food name later.

Create an ultra-realistic macro shot of FOOD = {fill here}, shaped like a tiny kawaii food baby sitting on a plate.  

The baby shape must be fully made from the FOOD itself — no human baby realism.  

The face (cheeks, nose, mouth) should be subtly sculpted from the FOOD’s natural texture, with pores, bubbles, and layers flowing naturally across the surface.  

Eyes are glossy, doll-like, innocent, and cute — toy-style, not human.  

The FOOD baby is seated comfortably on a ceramic plate, surrounded by rich, glossy FOOD sauces pooling naturally around the body.  

A clearly visible metal spoon is placed at the RIGHT side of the frame, held by a human hand, actively feeding a small bite of the same FOOD into the baby’s mouth.  

The spoon must be fully visible, sharp in focus, and touching the mouth.  

The spoon is an essential foreground element and must not be missing.  

The food baby’s head and eyes are turned toward the RIGHT, looking directly at the spoon.  

Expression is excited, surprised, and adorable.  

Warm, soft lighting highlights golden textures.  

Ultra-shallow depth of field (f/1.2–f/1.4) with creamy bokeh.  

Shot on an 85mm macro lens, ultra-sharp focus on the face and spoon, blurred background.

Negative Prompt (Spoon Protection)

No missing spoon, no invisible spoon, no cropped spoon, no blurred spoon, no left-side spoon, no spoon behind the subject, no hand without spoon, no human baby skin, no infant anatomy, no creepy realism, no cartoon outlines, no deformation, no text, no watermark.

Next, this is the video animation prompt that we will use later:

Animate only gentle, tiny movements: the FOOD-embedded baby-face blinks softly, its stylized mouth slowly opens in anticipation as a hand brings a small piece of FOOD toward it.  

The FOOD creature leans forward slightly to reach the bite, takes a small nibble with a soft mouth motion, and shows subtle cheek squish followed by delicate chewing.  

Add faint happy micro-expressions and minimal slow breathing, keeping all motions smooth, cute, and delicately understated.

Step 2: Generating the Image

Now comes the fun part: generating the baby food image.

First, look at the image prompt and simply change the food name. For example, you can replace croissant with donut, pancake, sushi, or any food you want. Keep everything else exactly the same for best results.

Once you’ve changed the food name, select the entire prompt and copy it.

Next, open Google Gemini. If you prefer another image generation tool, that’s totally fine too. The steps are usually very similar.

Inside Google Gemini, choose the Create Images feature. Paste your prompt into the text box and hit Send.

After a few seconds, your baby food image will appear. Most of the time, the result already looks incredibly cute and realistic. The textures, lighting, and spoon placement should feel very natural. If you’re happy with it, simply download the image. This image will be used for the video generation step.

Step 3: Generating the Video

Once you have your image ready, it’s time to turn it into a living, breathing baby food video.

First, copy the video animation prompt.

Then, go to your favorite video generator tool. In this example, I’m using Google Flow, but you can use any tool that supports image-to-video or frames-to-video features.

Create a new project and choose Frames to Video.

Upload the baby food image that you generated earlier. After that, paste the video prompt into the prompt box.

Before hitting send, make sure your settings are correct. Set the video orientation to portrait (9:16). For the model, choose Veo 3.1 Fast.

Once everything is set, hit Send and wait for a few minutes.

And that’s it. Your baby food video is ready. You’ll see gentle blinking, tiny mouth movements, subtle chewing, and adorable expressions. It looks soft, cute, and perfect for short-form platforms.
