The rumors are true: These are all cakes.

If you're feeling slightly traumatized from seeing a gorgeous pair of Crocs sliced in half, a roll of toilet paper demolished, or a lively-looking plant hacked apart with a giant knife, just know you're not alone.

It's a bit unnerving to watch everyday objects be carved up on your social media timelines without warning, but if you keep watching, you'll learn that these objects are, in fact, all edible cakes.

Viral cake-cutting videos have been making the rounds on social media after Buzzfeed's Tasty account shared a compilation of @redrosecake_tubageckil's realistic-looking baked goods on July 8.

Chef Tuba Geçkil of Red Rose Cake specializes in making 3-D cakes that look soreal that the sheer act of slicing them in half is intriguing — and in some cases, extremely jarring. Chef Geçkil has 2.71K YouTube subscribers, and regularly shares her masterful creations (like the below cup of coffee, which is also a cake) to Facebook and Instagram. But Tasty's compilation video, which was tweeted with the caption, "These are all cakes," is what's been dominating timelines lately and giving the already-haunted people of Twitter some cake-filled nightmares.

Since Chef Geçkil's videos took off online, clips from other realistic cake artists like @NatalieSideserf and @The_Bakeking have been shared. The illusion cakes are both genuinely impressive and deeply disturbing, especially the bulldog and human hand???

Anyway, as you can imagine, the people who've seen these videos are now having some real trust issues. Is everything cake? Are your Crocs actually cake? Have people been cake this whole time? There are so many questions.

This isn't the first time Tasty has shared a distressing cake compilation on social media, and it's definitelynot the first time they've tried to mess with our heads. (Remember the rage-inducing "bigger than before" egg video?) All we're saying is 2020 has already been a lot. Did we really need to add cake drama to the mix?

Before we go hate-watch more cake cutting videos, we'd like to remind you to notactually cut yourself open in an attempt to find out if you are cake. As far as we know cakes can't read, so if you made it this far in the article you're most likely human.
