Deceptive designer cakes can sometimes become the ultimate way to confuse your brain. Part of you will expect what you are about to eat to taste completely different before you mouth is filled with the blissful sweetness of cake.
The best kinds of designer deceptive cakes are the ones that are designed to look like something disgusting -- for instance, cakes that looks like brains or cigarette butts. Not only is this somewhat ironic, it will also deter your roommates from eating your precious dessert.
Some other classic examples of these cakes are the ones that look like a completely different type of food, those meant to mimic a figure from pop culture and designed to look like an animal. In the end, it doesn't really matter what it looks like, as long as it tastes good.
