Today I did not do an experiment but I do want to share something that makes me giggle! Today is my 16th birthday and my mom offered to make a cool cake. Yesterday I spent a few hours baking and frosting delicious chocolate cupcakes!! This morning my mom and I worked together to make an edible deoxyribonucleic acid strand! Also known as a DNA strand!!!!!!!!
It is SO COOL!!!!!! The Nucleotide strands (the colored bridges) are just Fruit Twizzlers with a stick through them. With the appropriate nucleotides paired correctly (The adenine with the thymine and the guanine with the cytosine). The backbone is just Nerds Rope!! All put together to make a colorful and tasty cake!! Here is a close-up!
In the past, I have always enjoyed cake decorating and I had so much fun doing it again. This is too cool and I wanted to share it with all of you. Now I am taking it to training at Explora to share it with all of my fellow interns!!! Talk to you all later.
Bowties are cool.
