"I actually feel sorry (not😆) that he is stuck with a con-artist mum🫣He surely deserves better" she joked.

You see, Dayeeta is a cake artist who has mastered the art of making cake look exactly like perfectly-cooked chicken. Her incredibly realistic creation has the internet buzzing, but it’s left viewers divided.

While many viewers are amazed by her skill and creativity, others are furious that they’ve been "conned" into thinking it’s real chicken.

"Most disappointing video on internet," one viewer joked. Another said, "what did I do to deserve this?"

What do you think—impressive cake art or a betrayal to chicken lovers everywhere?
