Mitochondria looks like which candy

Have fun with the cell cake! And maybe could post that. I need to finish the cake before tomorrow. This is great. This week we are making cookies three ways to learn about different types of rocks.

Thanks for sharing. I love this. My daughter and I made one of these for our home school group a few years back. I found it to be so cool — educational and edible! Does any one know if that is all 13 pieces of the cell because I love this idea but if there is not all 13, then i cant do it and I would get really mad and I really want to do this for my 7th grade cell project.

Thank you so much! Hi Skyla! All you need to do is use your creativity! I need to do thissssss love it! Your email address will not be published. Notify me via e-mail if anyone answers my comment.

I am doing this for my 7th grade science project. Thank you for the amazing idea! This is great!!! Thanks for the info. Good luck!

For the rest of the cell contents, try to find a candy shape that best matches each part of the cell.

Try sprinkles for ribosomes, a hard ribbon candy for the Golgi body, jelly beans for lysosomes, a gumball for the centrosome, folded fruit roll-ups or gummy worms for endoplasmic reticulum, chocolate covered raisins for vacuoles, shoestring licorice for microtubules and gumdrops or orange candy slices for mitochondria. Use a stone fruit cut in half to represent the nucleus -- the pit is the nucleolus and the skin is the nuclear membrane.

Prepare a box of gelatin according to the package instructions. Clear gelatin is most accurate but you can use the flavor of your choice if you want to actually eat it later. Pour it into your bowl or plastic bag when slightly cooled and chill it until it is partially set but still liquid. Once the gelatin has reached a thickened but soft stage, you can add the candy to the cell without it melting or sinking to the bottom.

Arrange your candy components and fruit nucleus according to your diagram of an animal cell and press the candy partway into the gelatin.
