Birthday cake with lit candles against warm bokeh lighting background.

Rendered confectionery composition featuring layered cake with chocolate-toned base exterior covered in spherical pearl-like decorative elements. Two spiral-striped candles positioned vertically at surface apex, both ignited. Frosting piping layer with cream coloration applied to top surface. Background demonstrates bokeh effect with circular light formations at varying focal distances, warm color temperature approximating 2700-3000K. Lighting setup produces diffuse illumination with primary light source positioned elevated and posterior to subject. Shallow depth of field constrains focus to cake while background elements blur progressively.
