The mind-blowing confection originated from YouTube account "CharlotteSometimes" and was shared on Reddit — only to quickly become one of the first viral videos of the New Year. It's like the infamous blue/black vs. white/gold dress that took the internet by storm in 2015, only much, much sweeter…

At first, this cake looks completely normal — but as the baker spins it, it looks as if the colors change in an instant. The orange turns blue, the pick turns purple, and the yellow turns green. It's incredible!

While some viewers think the cake is fake, it's 100% real. Apparently, this is a fairly common technique achieved by airbrushing the cake from opposite directions using different colors. YouTube user Lexine Oliveira says, "Make the edging design you want, then take one side of the cake and spray from a straight angle on the cake, so that the color ends up on one side of the ridges alone. Spray the colors you want, then spin the cake around and do the same on the opposite side. You are working with the ridges so that you get one color on one side of the ridge and another color on the other side. There for giving the effect of changing colors when you change the cake around. It takes a bit of practice to get it to look good, but its really fun. I've done it at work quite a few times."
