“These Are All Cake” Videos are Going Viral

If you’ve scrolled through social media recently, you may have noticed that cake videos are going viral, but it’s not the kind of three-layered, chocolate iced cake you’d expect to see.

Last month, Buzzfeed’s Tasty Twitter posted a video with the caption, “These are all cakes,” with people cutting into everyday objects like Crocs, toilet paper, burgers, vegetables, houseplants, and a bottle of lotion, with each item turning out to be cake.

The video gave credit to the Instagram account redrosecake_tubageckil, a “CAKE & SUGAR Artist,” and it showed how each of the cakes was decorated with the fondant. Since its post, the video has over 32 million views!

Before long, Twitter feeds were full of other cakes disguised as everyday items including raw chicken breast fillets, eggplants, lemons, onions, oysters, tacos, and macaroni and cheese.

“These are all cakes” has even inspired some memes with funny comments including, “All these cake videos are making me paranoid rn what if I’m a cake and I don’t even know it?” and “Believe it or not these are all cakes.”

What do you think of these cakes? Would you be willing to try them?
