1、In Tuba Geçkil's world, anything can turn into a cake. From shoes, toilet paper rolls, to a steaming kettle, the Turkish sugar artist's ultra-realistic cakes are sculpted to mirror everyday objects. They're so convincing until a knife slices them open to reveal their delicious insides.
Geçkil's journey began with a simple desire to create something special for her son's 1st birthday. She shaped a car cake so real that her son wanted to play with it instead of eating it. From that moment, she discovered her passion: turning daily items into edible (可食用的) art. She began experimenting with techniques from painting, sculpting, and even hairstylings, designing each cake as if it were a high-fashioned piece, customized with fine details.
In 2020, her creations gained widespread attention on social media where she challenged her followers to guess which object on the table was actually a cake. It was always the one they least expected. For Geçkil, the joy lies not only in the craft but in the reactions her cakes inspire. Seeing people's faces light up with wonder and surprise is the magic she loves to create. She said, "All hyper-realistic cakes are crazy, limited only by imagination."
Apart from her online fame, Geçkil also founded Red Rose Cake where she teaches courses in cake designing. Since 2016, she has been giving workshops in many countries—the USA, Brazil, England, India, France, Dubai, etc. Many of her students have won awards in competitions, and many are now teaching.
As she watches her students excel, Geçkil is inspired to dream bigger — to bring Turkish culture to the global stage in a delicious way. She dreams of holding an international exhibition where she will fashion cakes showing traditional Turkish food as well as cultural sites, inviting people around the world to taste the richness of her homeland.

2、Knit (针织) for Nature
Who We Are
The Penguin Foundation works to protect Phillip Island's native wildlife and enhance the natural environment. One of the key projects is our long-running Knits for Nature program.
Why Your Help matters
For over 20 years, this program has served two critical purposes. Initially, hand-knitted jumpers were essential for saving Little Penguins affected by oil spills (泄漏). When Little Penguins get oiled, they can poison themselves by eating oil. Knitted jumpers help to prevent them from reaching their feathers (羽毛) until rescuers wash them clean. Thanks to the generosity of knitters worldwide, our care center is now well-stocked with these life-saving jumpers for 40,000 penguins.
Today, the program's primary goal is to seek financial support. We now use these jumpers, dressed on penguin toys, as popular souvenirs sold in our stores. Each sale directly supports our ongoing wildlife protection work.
How You Can Help
We invite you to keep knitting creative jumpers for us! Themed designs such as those featuring Christmas colours, football themes, world flags, or ocean themes are welcomed as souvenirs. For safety, we cannot accept items with buttons or sharp decorations that could pose a danger to children. Please ensure jumpers stick to the following sizes in the picture.
A huge thank you to all the wonderful knitters who have contributed to making a difference for Phillip Island's precious wildlife!

D、By drawing rescuers' attention.(2)、What is the current purpose of the Knits for Nature program?A、To raise funds. B、To prevent oil spills. C、To educate the public.
