The Incredible Edible
I try not to impose too much of my personal life on this blog, but I couldn't resist showing off our weekend project.
This is my 10-year-old son's recent science project. They are required to do a report on a subject (in this case, he chose the biology and physics of hitting a home run) and supplement the report with a model that has to be entirely edible - i.e. all made out of food (Seriously - what sadistic maniac thinks up this stuff?). He and I worked most of Sunday on this, while mom laughed her butt off watching. He presents tomorrow, and then the class eats it (who wants to bet that they will fight over eating the eye?)

Anyway, this thing includes cookie bones (we used foil for molds for the bones and bat) licorice muscles, gummi worm brains and nerves, cake baseball, chocolate bat, and fondant hand and eye (with almond nails). Thank God for fondant - usually a smooth finish layer for cakes, it basically acts like edible clay.
Move over Martha, coyote is here!
