Your image needs a focus area that is the brightest and that’s where the cake is. Right now it feels there’s light in every grid of this image and my eyes are darting all over the place. Here are my suggestions which you can try out to see how well they work for you:
Dim the tree/flower, as well as the ball lanterns except the first 2 rows. Darken the purple grey wall/sky/background to nearly black, leaving only the wall behind the wooden barrels to come out of the darkness of night. Dim the spire above the wall with wood barrels just a bit to separate it from the wall and push it back, thus creating stronger sense of retreating space. Enlarge the bottom left corner items to really separate foreground from the middle ground (where the action is). Add more details to the cake to really make it lavish, befitting a fantasy world.
