Now let me show you something funny I stumbled upon recently… Actually, I’m not 100% sure whether I found it myself or it was submitted to me by one of our fans. Whichever it is, be sure to take a moment of your time and carefully observe the attached photo. Have you noticed anything strange in it? How about them cups of hot chocolate? Anything suspicious? If you still have trouble guessing, you may find the solution in here. Now admit it, how many of you got it right?

they look so yummy!
Ahhh there cakes, that explains the fork and the dent in the far cup :)
its pudding : D
The forks only have three points!!
Ummm we have those forks ( tecnecley they are called throrks not FORks)
thay are called at tryten
I think the cups are just plastic and the hotchoclate is definitley choclate pudding with marshmellows ;)
Cool Illusion Dude;)
R U CARZY?! check it. ITS CAKE!!!
I think the ‘cup’ is white chocolate …
I LURVE white chocolate!!! ^-’
look a how dented the cup at the back is, it’s not chocolate is marziepan!!
I agree with the one who said it’s not much of an optical illusion. Looks fattening though.
Actually the impossible visual creaminess of the ‘hot chocolate’ gives it away. I mean, does anyone know of hot chocolate that creamy?
I think this is rediculous. In no way is this an optical illusion. It looks like a solid substance in the cups, but that is not an “optical illusion” this picture makes me not want to view this site! CRAP!!!
I thought it was pudding.
hey people look at the forks. the illusion is in the forks. yeah got it right.
Those forks and that consistency make me think they are totally awesome cupcakes!
Yumm! Totally didn’t see that one. I wonder how long it took the baker to make those? I think I could devour it in seconds.
I thought the cup on the left the melted slightly marshmellow looks like a girl with a skirt on slightly bent.
cupcake. cup is cake. so cute. looks delicious.
haha kinda easy to get the illusion when the picture is named hot chocolate cupcakes. Just hover your mouse over the picture, riddle solved :P
you also forgot that when you put your mouse over the picture it says hot-choc-cupcakes
My friend, I DO have tumblr, of course I know that it’s a cupcake. ;)
The “cake” tag at the bottom of the picture gives it away.
The forks sort of gave it away. Also, the chocolate is too contoured… looks more like pudding. And you can see the seam of the fondant at the back of each cup. Still, a very good illusion!
Is it that the spoons have slots in?
It’s the marshmallows. They are actually, “chalk” pieces……….right !!?
The only odd thing I saw was the forks
me too
the hot chocolate because why is the marshmellows flowting
aaah, the forks all make sense now I’ve seen the solution!
its cake u dumbasses!!!!
there is no need to be calling people dumb***es. they just didn’t see the elusive fact that they were looking at cakes.
WATCH IT JOHNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so why are you a dick?
clever :)
It’s looks like hot choco but it’s acctually cake..
Hot cAKES..LOLZ!!
It’s not funny ok!! Your so FAKE and CORNY!! Gosh the Golly!! Your such a Comment Freak!!
HOT CAKES LOL :D You are sooooooo funny!
That one was dumb. While you can’t really tell exactly what it is, it is clear it’s not a liquid in the cups.
OK you dont have to be rude! it is a cool illusion and your being a total JERK!
Woah! When I click for the solution, I was taken aback for a moment there. Those who wants to guess before looking at the illusion, here’s a clue: ‘Anyone seen a person drinking hot chocolate with a fork?’ *Warning!: Spoilers!* Applause to the person who made this ‘hot chocolate’ cakes… Really beautiful cakes that looks like a nice, inviting cup of hot chocolates.
the forks. A cup of hot chocolate with a fork? Hmm? and then, tadaah, that’s not a cup of hot chocolate. that’s cake!! Omg, I love this!
I actually also got the idea that it is cake from the dent in the right cup, forks and the fork on the left, :P
the cup on the right has a dent in the cup, and if one has a dent like that there Thrown out. and when object is set in to a liguid: it sends of sonic waves throughout the liguid, this cup didnt do that.
Look above the end of the fork on the top mug… There is a dent!It’s how I discovered their cakes!
these were obviously cakes. There are forks instead of spoon, and they didn’t look like the usual chocolate drink.
hahaha…coffee cakes.
They look like cup cakes to me..I knew it was a solid..I shook my monitor and no liquid moved in either cup..
OH MY GOSH!WHO MADE THESE ME AND MY 9 YEAR OLD SISTER WERE LOOKING AT THESE FOR 5 MINUTES AND FINALLY HAD TO PEEK.NOW WE FEEL KINDA STUPID FOR NOT NOTICING THE FACT THAT THERE WERE FORKS!AND EVERY ONE THAT DIDNT PEEK BUT GUESSED GOOD JOB!AND LETS FACE IT EVERY ONE THAT SAID CAKES AND ACTED ALL SMART AND STUFF YOU PEEKED!THEN YOU ANSWERED!BUT THOSE ARE SOME NEAT CAKES.
I know A half these people probably looked first. I agree i thought it was like you know a trick my eyes couldnt see but good job! Dont feel stupid im twenty three and couldnt find it! Have a great day!
beauty ! absolute beauty !
I noticed there was a dent in the cup and the “liquid” in the cup right away.
the hot chocolate looks too thick…
and the spoons look unrealistic…
and the solution… It’s a Cake! oh lol…
Good One…
NEATEST CAKES EVER! (SOMEONE REPLY)
The cake is a lie.
^ This.
NO ITS NOT! GOSH! I CANT STAND THESE SCEPTICS!
it looks like the saucer closest to the camera is half bowl. and the fork looks funny. the shadows are off
having forks with hot cocoa is not an illusion. the stuff is also way to thick to be cocoa
yayyy!!! i want one of these cakes they’re amazing!!!
Whoaaaaaaaaaa I just jumped with joy after I saw the solution and found out I got it right! NICE!!! :D
this one’s pretty clever :D. i finally found out why the “cup” on the right isn’t looking flat.
i’d love to eat these x9
Isn’t the saucer in the top right hand corner overlapping the other one?
I was right, the chocolate was to thick to be a cup of hot coco and there shouldn’t be forks ther so it had to be a pastry!
The handles are off plus there’s a dent above the fork on the top ‘cup’ And yess I am a smart***e but I didn’t look! So F**k You!
The cake is a lie
Theres a dent in the cup and it’s cake…
The cup on the bottom left hand corner, if you look close enough the foam next to the white marshmallow looks like a woman’s body in a white dress and one hand on the marshmallow.
Kind of knew something was up with the forks and the texture in the ‘cups’.
i thought it was play dough. awesome cakes!!!!!!!
HAHHAHA i had NO idea it was a cake but i could tell after a minute of looking that it was in fact NOT an actual cup i thought it was a sculpture or it was the chocolate that wasn’t real lol
I thought the cups looked imperfect, and I didn’t think it was impossible that it might be… :D I GOT IT RIGHT. :D
Look Under The Marshmellow It Looks Like A Little Person Is Their :)
This is accuuatlly a cute cake from a website called I can haz cheezburger :3
I knew it was fake, i just didnt know it was a cake O.o
the mugs are cakes…lol nice illusion, like alina, i knew it was fake but i didnt know it was a cake, it just looked to perfect…now i know it is cake im drooling O.O
i new there was a small bend inside one of the cups or cakes should I say
there are some bending over the cup. it is because of the reflection from the fork. :)))))))))))))
Well, I am a nut because I see a little girl in the bottom photo look above the handle and someone tell me that is a girl with her hands up looks like she is praying
I did, as the cups were not absolutely round. YAAAAY :))))
Haha. I noticed that the drinks were extremely unleveled, but I definitely didn’t know that it was a CAKE!
at first I just thought the forks were weird, but when I looked closer I saw the forks were normal becase it was a cake!
Duh obviosly its a cake how did you not realise! (sarcasim)
Might be your best blog post on the web…
That would be such a cool thing to do for the holidays! Everybody gets their own individual “cup of chocolate” after the dinner.
Stick a mini candy cane in there for garnish and away you go!
Kids would love it. ^_^
Gonna have to remember this and pass it along. And hey if you come across any more illusions like this one, would Looove to see them. I love food based illusions. =)
Haha I thought it was pudding in real cups. Had to peak. Didn’t pick up on why there were forks with it!
ooooh. it is cake lol! the cup on the right has a dent in it. duuuuh!
The marshmallows?
My guess was – why forks and not teaspoons? that was suspicious enough to guess.
i hovered above the picture for too long and the words ruined the illusion…
there is a person in the first cup. it vage but you have to look close.
HOW ON EARTH IS THIS NOT AN OPTICAL ILLUSION!?!? It appears to be something that it is not… optical illusion. Sheeeeeesh people. At first I didn’t notice anything and then I realised that the cups looked like they themselves were food (like cake haha) and then I realised the whole thing is in fact cake. Really cool!
Its a piec of cake ;)
Hum i’m french so don’t care about my english please.
The illusion is on the junction of that two cups. The first cup isn’t under the second one ;)
In fact, I think this picture isn’t real, is a 3D modeling
Okay, First of all, forks are not used for a hot chocolate. I think maybe the real illusion here is, it’s a cake.
WTF am i the only one who notice the plate is above the nother ps my english is not so good
Part of the illusion is that it’s a cake, however, I think the first part of the illusion is that one plate is resting on the other plate. If the cups were real, with liquid, the liquid in the cup would not be level – probably ready to spill over.
Just my guess
