How to make a animal cell from Cake?

Question

How do i make a animal cell from Cake ? and would it be best if i bought the cake or make it ?

Answer 1

use a mix, make the cake, in a round pan. use candies to make the various organelles. plain white icing works good as a cytoplasm, you can use a different colour icing for a nucleus, gummy worms are a great endoplasmic reticulum (smooth), and attach mini m&m's to the gummy worms to make the rough er. chocoloate or butterscotch chips as lysosomes, chocolate icing around the outer borders of the cake as the cell membrane. candied almonds are good as mitochondria, and you get the gel icing stuff from the supermarket, and draw "squiggles" on it to show the cristae of the interior of the mitochondria.

use toothpicks that have "flags" attached to them (address labels work well), and stick the labels into each section.

Answer 2

Make a two-layer round cake and carve out a round spot in the center. (Carve the top of the bottom layer and the bottom of the top layer.) Fill the space in with jelly to represent the nucleus. Put chocolate chips in the batter to represent those little floaty bits outside the nucleus, whatever they're called. The frosting can be the cell membrane. Now you have a yummy animal cell cake. Mmmm... now I'm hungry for chocolate...
