Twitter is much like a minefield, with a stroll through it guarantees seeing a variety of non-food items that are just cakes in disguise. The hyper-realistic cakes come in all shapes and sizes: a chicken thigh, a carton of eggs, a telephone, a ball of yarn, or bell peppers... Nothing is sacred.

At the interesting side of Interesting Engineering, we've gathered the best cakes that will surely fool you into thinking they are real even though you just read that they are not.

9. Eggplant cake

The kids will want to eat their vegetables for sure. We should reverse engineer vegetables to look like cakes, now, that would be really mind-bending, and also a bit disgusting.
