Why this viral cake trend has the internet unglued - Mashed

While some commenters stuck to statements of how impressed they were at the cake makers' skill or how shocked or grossed out they felt at seeing heads, arms, innocent puppies, and footwear sliced into, others seemed to be trying to turn the whole "cake fake" thing into some kind of larger metaphor for the instability of life as we know it... or something. One person tweeted that the cake vids were making them paranoid, leading them to ponder the existential query, "What if I'm a cake and I don't even know it?" They received such dubious reassurances as, "We're all just sentient cake people with some weird filling known as blood, organs, and bones," and "Everything is pretty much cake if you want to think of it that way."

Things took a disturbing turn for another Twitter user, who proposed the following line of defense: "Your honor, in my client's defense, she thought her husband was a cake." They got even more twisted with another user who tweeted, "I have chained my roommate to the kitchen table. I will be cutting him open to see if he's a cake. He says he isn't, but that's exactly something a cake would say." Oh, and of course some even tried to make cake cutting political, with tweets like, "Cut the police budget, I promise it's cake."

Where will it all end? Only once we've accepted the darkest of truths, which is that deep inside, we're all actually devil's food.
