Baked by Angela Hubert (or ayarel01 on YouTube), this rainbow-colored wonder has everyone stumped. The optical illusion it creates is absolutely mesmerizing. Fortunately, Angela generously shared the technique on how she actually created the color-shifting sweet.

For those thinking of trying this out, Angela recommends “freshly iced cake because a cake with dry icing will not comb smoothly.” She also adds that the effect can actually be achieved “with just two colors, although I recommend complementary colors, as not all overspray can be prevented.”

Angela, however, is quick to clarify that she didn’t come up with the original idea. As she specified on her video description:

“No, I am not the first to make this design. In fact, I learned this waaay back in 2002, when I started training how to decorate!”
