Killer Chemistry Cupcakes of the Day: Katherine @ Foodie Friday helped her sister whip up a batch of ultra-nerdy Periodic Table Cupcakes for what was surely the best birthday party this side of Bohrium (named in honor of Niels Bohr, noted party animal).

Kartherine says:

She’s a chemistry nerd, so everything had to be exactly correct.  Astute chem majors will notice the color-coded icing for solids, liquids, and gases, as well as the empty cupcake liner for as-yet-undiscovered element ununseptium. […]

Shoutouts to Ellie and Marissa for helping with the other metals, metalloids, and nonmetals, as well as to the best four elements on the table: Berkelium, Californium, Lawrencium, and Seaborgium.  Oh, what?  Stanfurdium?  What?  Oh, sorry, there isn’t one.  Boom.

Nice.
