Build something tasty with the new edible erector set. Construct to your hearts content with slightly different versions of your favorite party mix.
Cracker gears - a few different sizes, heck bite off the teeth you don't want.
Pretzel rods - great for the structure or for the shaft of your gears and wheels
Pretzel wheels - unsalted pretzel wheels for locomotion.
Cheese puff spheres - add pretzel rods to it them and add stability to your structures or use them to help make models of molecules.
Pretzel tackle blocks - add your own string
Hard tack planks - in plain or garlic
Thin crisps - for your pinwheels and sails
Now you have the ingredients for a dynamic structure that's sure to move on its own. Great as an eclectic cake topper.-- sartep, Apr 16 2006 Don't forget the candy blocks ... http://www.candyfav...ilding+Blocks+CandyManufactured by Concord Confections. [Letsbuildafort, Apr 16 2006] there must be something in the ether.... I woke up this morning and the idea for coins that are cogs was forming as a result of taking an old watch apart. I did a search of Bakery - found some other coin ideas, but not mine - so I wrote it up and posted it. Then, did a check to see what else was new and saw this - parallel thoughts (sort of) - Anyone else had this experience? Spooky. Admin can probably check and verify that I am telling truth. In any case have a bun for your idea +-- xenzag, Apr 16 2006 I LOVE the idea of building a working replica of a motorcycle transmission. OOOOH, big #1 fixed countershaft gear-shaped bun for you!-- Letsbuildafort, Apr 16 2006 There is no way I could resist playing with my food.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Apr 16 2006 What about the cheese string springs?
Have a (semi-autonomous) bun.-- dbmag9, Apr 17 2006 [xenzag] That 'parellel thought' thing has happened to me more than once, even more than twice. I think half-minds think alike.
and a croissant shaped roof for sartep's dynamic structure.((+))-- xandram, Apr 17 2006 Margarine grease anyone? +-- S1, Apr 19 2006 random, halfbakery
