But before you get too excited about this rainbow-filled masterpiece, let us unravel the magic a tiny bit.

But here's where the cake differs from the dress, which seemingly changed colors in different lighting. As proven by ocular science, the color perception of the dress was based on individuals' brain functionality. In this case, it's just smart airbrushing.

The Color Changing Cake has divided viewers. One group says that this is fake, and is a result of video editing, whereas the baker community is trying to explain that this is possible and that many of them have even tried this technique. Mariah P, one of the viewers, said that all this has to be fake. Another viewer named Nyphetamine Blue said that this is not fake and has been done by airbrushing the cake using different colors from opposite angles. She said that she used to make such cakes every day when she was a cake decorator.

Whatever might be the case, we are just enjoying the colorful optical illusions we are getting from this cake and we only wish that cake tastes as good as it looks.
