My name is Laura and I’m a geeky cupcake maker. There, I said it. I’ve heard that this is the first step to recovery.
About a month ago, my friend Mara and I embarked on a quest to increase awareness of nerdy staples (anything to do with math, science, or academics in general) through the ever-effective medium of delicious, homemade cupcakes. It is not an easy task. In fact, there is a great deal of courage needed to brave the unpredictable effects of hours in the kitchen, an inordinate amount of extra calories, and the complete submergence into the relatively unknown region of Nerddom. I’m not saying we’re fearless. I’m strongly implying it through the use of obnoxious circumlocution.
Our first project was ambitious. We knew that we had to choose something easily recognizable, something impressively typical. It had to be big. People had to notice it, admire it, and worship it. There is one obvious template that fits this criteria. So we set out to construct the Periodic Table of Elements out of delicious color-coded and flavor-coded cupcakes.
The Plan:
Nonmetals: Vanilla
Metals: Chocolate
Solid at room temperature: Green Icing
Liquid at room temperature: Blue Icing
Gaseous at room temperature: Purple Icing
Unknown state: Yellow Icing
