Objects or cakes? The most realistic cakes in the world will leave you open-mouthed

They look like real, everyday objects … Until someone sticks a knife in them, and you discover that they are made of delicious sponge cake and cream. Impossible!

With Tuba Geçkil cakes, it is difficult to know when the artwork ends, and when the dessert begins.

It all started a few years ago, in 2008, when she was baking a cake for her son, and she thought: “anything I can hold in my hand, it can be a cake“…

So the artist Tuba Gekil, who had already exhibited his pictures and paintings in various art exhibitions, decided swap the brushes for the pastry palette, and specialize in creating lthe most realistic cakes in the world. In this video you can see some of his incredible creations:

In most cases it is impossible to know if it is an object or a cake, until you stick the knife …

As you can see in other videos of his Youtube channel, Tuba Geçkil uses sponge cake filled with cream to create the skeleton of the object you want to turn into a cake.

Then create the outer layer and the different parts or accessories of the object with fondant, a kind of paste, moldable like plasticine, but edible.

Thanks to food coloring, fondant is available in a multitude of colors. And you can buy in stores like Amazon.

Of course, making these works of art requires knowledge of drawing, modeling and sculpture.

Tuba Gekil has an online bakery open called Red Rose Cake where he sells wedding cakes, birthdays, and all kinds of orders.

He was also a member of the Turkish team that participated in the culinary olympics IKA Olympics, where won 4 gold medals and one silver, beating all records.

Through its website you can also sign up to online courses modeling of figures, 3D cakes, busts, culinary art, and other baking techniques.

A curious example of artistic reconversion: By swapping brushes for pastry, Tuba Geçkil has achieved worldwide fame, participating in numerous television shows around the world.
