Science Cake


What a fun birthday idea and a fun cake to go along with it. Meant to be explored with many elements from the periodic table along the bottom. But I accidentally spilled the green radioactive test tube which turned the words 'Happy Birthday' green ;)
The cake is chocolate with mint filling. It is iced with buttercream, 'faux fondant'. The decorations are fondant and gumpaste.
Pop quiz, how many elements can you name??? Here is a hint:
-pink elements are from the boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen groups.
-gray elements are from the transition elements.
-blue elements are from the halogens and noble gases.
-orange elements are from the alkali metals and alkali earth metals.
