/chemistry/taxonomy/term/142/all en /chemistry/channels/news/periodic-table-birthday-cupcakes-239485 <p>On Oct 9, the Ariya group made a nice surprise to their supervisor. The entire lab baked, decorated, transported and setup  over 100 cupcakes to create a periodic table. The colours of the icing were characteristic of whether the element was part of the s block, d block, p blocks or f blocks and the non-metals were also frosted and of the five flavours of cupcakes: butter pecan, double fudge chocolate, red velvet, carrot cake and vanilla were characteristic of the various blocks of the periodic table. Due to lack of time, a few elements were missing, but who wants inert cupcakes anyways!</p> Sat, 11 Oct 2014 00:44:51 +0000 audrey.moores@mcgill.ca 695 at /chemistry
