I went to an art school for a reason. I'm not one for math and science but I still had to take those classes. In order to get out of getting frustrated and going in to detail on science projects, I turned them into cake.
I give you the "Hurricake." Complete with headless gingerbread men.
If there's one thing that my "Natural Disasters" class taught me is that when in doubt, make food for a final project. It always goes over well. People (by people I mean professors) tend to forget that you don't know what you're talking about and are blinded by your baked goods.
We had to show the five stages of a hurricane so I went out and found gingerbread man cookies, sprinkles, tree sprinkles and I think at one point I even threw a Matchbox car in there for some drama.
I couldn't tell you now the in depth descriptions in each category of a hurricane, but maybe you can from the cake carnage I created?
Category 1:
Category 2: I'm assuming the roof of the gingerbread house came off while the gingerbread man was sleeping.
Category 3: Now his arm fell off.
Category 4: You've lost your head and now the house is flooding.
Category 5: Let's jus stay I don't want to be in that house.
I must give myself some credit for creativity, making the hurricane out of funfetti representing whatever a hurricane destroys and scoops up in it's path.
And all the gingerbread man sprinkles to show death. Kind of sick once you look back on it. But hey, had to pass a class and I like cake!
Mixing up Evil, circa 2007. Complete with Starbucks apron and espresso wall art, still in existence. Special thanks to my roommates for putting up with this.
