Geek Chic: Scientific Baking Wins!


I thoroughly enjoyed this article by Andy Connelly about the science behind baking a cake. Baking more so than some other cooking is a rather precise thing and I liked thinking about it in a different way to my usual "When is it ready for me to eat?" See, science is cool! I'd have listened a lot more in physics if it had been explained in terms of cake (sorry Mr Nile...).

So this t-shirt from Questionable Content (via Topatoco) would be the perfect piece of apparatus to accompany such tasty scientific endeavours. The theory that baking is science for hungry people is one that can be tested again and again. They come in red or black and cost $18 plus shipping. Buy one for yourself or a baking boy here

  1. I totally agree. If science was taught in terms of food, a lot more children would have listened!

  2. I just wore this shirt today! :) Bought it a couple days ago, and I'm so in love with it. They have aprons for it too, but they were sold out at Comic-Con by the time I got to them :[
