In Tuba Geçkil's world, virtually anything can become a cake. From Crocs shoes and toilet paper rolls to steaming kettles, this Turkish sugar artist makes cakes that look indistinguishable from everyday objects. They appear so lifelike that one wouldn't realize they're cakes until sliced open, revealing the sweet treat inside.

Geçkil's journey started with her desire to create something unique for her son's first birthday — a cake fashioned as a car. The cake appeared so authentic (真实的) that her son attempted to play with it instead of eating it! From that moment, she discovered her passion: transforming ordinary objects into edible (可食用的) art. She began

experimenting with techniques from painting, sculpting, and even hairstyling, designing each cake as if it were a high-fashion piece, customized with fine details.

In 2020, Geçkil's creations gained widespread attention on social media, where she challenged her followers to guess which item on the table was actually a cake. It was often the least expected object. For Geçkil, the joy lies in both the mastery of her craft and the reactions her cakes inspire. She enjoys watching people's expressions of amazement, saying, "These hyper-realistic cakes are all about creativity and imagination, limited only by my dreams."

Beyond her online fame, Geçkil founded Red Rose Cake to teach cake design. Since 2016, she has conducted workshops in numerous countries, including the USA, Brazil, England, India, and France. Many of her students have earned awards in competitions and have gone on to teach others, spreading her distinctive style worldwide.

Seeing her students excel motivates Geçkil to dream even bigger — to share Turkish culture with the world in a delicious way. She envisions holding an international exhibition featuring cakes inspired by traditional Turkish cuisine and cultural landmarks, inviting people from across the globe to experience the flavors and stories of her homeland.

5. How did Geçkil challenge her followers on social media?

C. By assigning varied bakery tasks. D. By asking them to vote for flavors.

6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning Geçkil?

A. Her growing popularity. B. Her teaching philosophy.

C. Her influence as a teacher. D. Her students' achievements.

7. What is Geçkil's goal for the future?
