How to use this prompt

"Thick rounded strokes" is the clause protecting you at small sizes — SDXL defaults to fine line work for flat icons, and fine lines vanish below 100 pixels. Crossing the spoon behind the hat keeps the silhouette one connected shape, which is why the mark still reads as "cooking" at launcher scale. The negative prompt does real work here: without "gradient shading" excluded, SDXL sneaks soft shadows onto flat fills, and without "multiple icons" it loves producing a sticker sheet. Warm cream instead of pure white keeps the icon from looking like an unfinished asset against a bright store page.

Variations to try

  • Baking version — "a single simplified whisk with a rounded mixing bowl behind it" keeps the crossed-silhouette trick
  • Fresh palette — swap the accents for "sage green and soft lemon accents on a pale mint rounded-square background"
