As the cake turns, it changes color. Also, I get hungrier. How?

YouTube user CharlotteSometimes doesn't explain, but commenter Nyphetamine Blue says that it's done by airbrushing color onto the icing from different directions. The ridges help delineate where one color begins and another ends. Turning the cake exposes alternate sides of the ridges.

looks more like they're using prismatic shifting paint pigments, tiny particles of mica that have been coated with titanium which is then etched to refract light in different ways depending on the angle. i wouldn't eat it...

Anybody that gets e-mail has probably received most of these from friends and relatives over the years. I'm amazed that some still make the rounds and that some people believe them to be true. Usually the pictures are enough to clue one in on the probability it's a hoax but sometimes the text is just as insightful, such as the shark/navy diver in South Africa when the Golden Gate Bridge is clearly seen in the background.

The photo of the coper and the frogman are from the California ANG and was shoot by an Air Force photojournalist. The other photo came off the web. The individual wanted to show how easy it was to phtoshop something and have most people believe it
