The TikTok user behind this pimple cake crafted the dessert for their sister’s boss, a dermatologist who is presumably used to popping zits. As only a dermatologist could do, they expertly squeezed the pimples while wearing latex gloves, producing a white, pus-like substance in the process. According to the video, it’s only vanilla pudding, but given the “eeks” and “ahhs” heard, that’s a bit hard to believe.

People were quick to share their thoughts on the video and state if, in fact, they themselves could eat the cake. Many of the commenters thought the dessert looked awesome and realistic, but more to the point, it wasn’t appetizing enough to eat. One person wrote, “This is creative, but I just couldn’t even get paid to eat it. The mind is a tricky thing!” Many complimented the baker on her talent and attention to detail — down to the veins and shading — but it’s unclear if anyone ever did actually consume the cake. Some social media users asked that very question, but the answer remains unknown. Rest assured, though, if a pimply cake is too much for you to handle, there are plenty of other cake recipes out there that don’t resemble bumpy skin.
