Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Does pasta count as a noodle?

Is pasta a noodle, or is the more pressing question whether it is dessert? Cocobelly Cakes gave viewers both puzzles in "Does pasta count as a noodle?", the most watched of its two new uploads, with roughly 27,000 views.

The replies divide over definitions. Some viewers compare pasta and noodles to squares and rectangles; others insist they are separate categories. A few bring the discussion back to the edible illusion, joking that the video has demonstrated something else entirely: pasta is cake. The upload also includes a restaurant promotion for Noodles & Company.

"Vaseline or Cake??" follows with a different everyday disguise. Its audience is only slightly smaller, and it drew more views in its first day than the pasta upload. Food that looks like food is one trick; cake that resembles a bathroom-cabinet staple is another.

The biggest ongoing draw, though, is "OBSESSION: But make it cake," approaching four million views. Its description connects the creation to the One Wish Willow, the movie prop Bear uses to wish for Nikki's love. That older upload is adding views much faster than either new arrival. A ceramic-style ghost guessing game and a gelatin-based edible-plastic recipe also remain active.

Subscribers held steady while the channel added a substantial weekly audience. Among nearby food channels, Kaitlyn Lavery had a particularly busy viewing week, while Proof Bread was quieter. Cocobelly Cakes' own daily viewing is above its usual pace, with the cursed-prop cake doing the largest share of the work among its busiest videos.

Not every noodle is made from flour, but these days neither are all pasta shapes...so that's a tough call 😊
