This realistic kitty litter cake is the perfect dessert for a Halloween party: ‘I literally almost spit out my drink’

This hyper-realistic kitty litter cake is the perfect dessert recipe for a Halloween party, or if you just want to gross out your friends.

Food illusions are popular among TikTok bakers and chefs, and this one from TikToker Amanda Schmitt (@randomschmitt) really takes the cake! Using basic ingredients, Schmitt made a cake that looked just like cat litter, and it was almost too realistic for some viewers.

The clip opens with a shot of Schmitt removing the lid from a litter box on her kitchen counter like a silver platter before the camera closes in to reveal the contents.

Schmitt dips a small plastic scoop into what looks like very soiled cat litter. She scoops up a chunk and gently shakes off some of the gravel before taking a big bite.

However, before viewers can even wrap their heads around the idea of someone ingesting cat litter, Schmitt addresses the camera, explaining that what she’s eating is actually cake.

From looking at the kitty litter cake, it’s difficult to comprehend that it’s entirely edible. Squished Tootsie Rolls and blobs of marshmallow fluff interspersed in a container of crushed chocolate and vanilla Oreos over a layer of cake crumbs made for an incredibly convincing display.

“Don’t play me like this.”

Schmitt’s cake proved so accurate that viewers couldn’t help but joke about how unsettled they felt.

“I literally almost spit out my drink. Don’t play me like this,” one user commented.

“Using the scoop as a utensil really sealed the deal,” shared one TikToker

“One time, my family and I made one for a Halloween party, and our cat actually used it,” one viewer recalled.

“I began throwing a fit because you set the litter box on the counter. The rest baffled me,” mentioned one user.

While viewers seem divided on whether the cat litter cake is delightful or disturbing, it’s hard to dispute that it probably tasted delicious.
