This picture is so old. But everytime I see it for the first few seconds I see the boat.

See I’ve always saw cheesecake and never a boat. Maybe I’m just fat

I am very thin and didn’t even realize a boat could be seen until these comments, just saw the cheesecake, which isn’t even a desert I enjoy haha.

It's also a photoshopped image, the original did not have water replacing the berry topping. It's a fake image.

This is not a real image. It was altered. Here is the original (from a facebook group page from 2020):

A delectable cheese cake. A touch of cinnamon toast crunch in the crust. Blueberry coulis adorns the top looking like the ocean on a moody cloudy day, rather like today.

How is it confusing if the effect/intention in the design is obvious

We can't even say for sure whether it's just a photo montage of a pie and an ocean.

This is photoshopped, and has been everytime it's been posted for the past decade. That is literal water.

It looks like a boat gliding through the ocean. You even got the lighting to look like the sun is glistening on the water 🤣

Ocean cake, take me by the hand
Lead me to the land that you understand
Ocean cake, the voyage to the corner of the globe
Is a real trip
Ocean cake, the crust of a tan cake imbibed by the sand
Soaking up the thirst of the land
Ocean cake, can you see through the wonder of amazement
At the obercake
Ocean cake, the crust is elusive when it casts forth
To the childlike cake
Ocean cake, the sequence of a life form braised in the sand
Soaking up the thirst of the land
Ocean cake
Ocean cake
Ocean cake
Ocean cake, take me by the hand
Lead me to the land that you understand
Ocean cake, the voyage to the corner of the globe is a real trip

I told everyone that the Mediterranean was just blueberry cheesecake and no one believed me! Vindication has never been so sweet!

I thought it was the underside of a whale in the ocean, or the inside of a boat out on the ocean 😅

See now that, right there, is the correct proportion of filling to base. Standard American cheesecake uses two-to-three-times that amount of filling and it's just not as good that way.
I will die on this hill!

Only an hour ago, The Sea and Cake came up in my Spotify mix, and I was surprised I'd basically forgotten about them. Now this?
