Jeremiah & Megan are in the same doctoral program I was in at the University of Florida. Jeremiah specifically studies pain receptors and uses an apparatus that looks a lot like this one (and is technically called a Thermal Preference Apparatus):

So the goal for the groom's cake was to replicate it! Here's the cake:

The yellow is all buttercream. The walls of the apparatus were made of gum paste that was allowed to dry for 1 week. The other decorations are fondant, and the numbers are hand-piped with royal icing.

Oh, and the little rat was made out of modeling chocolate.

I had to show my kids this cake and they all thought it was pretty darn amazing!!!!!
Mel, that is AMAZING! I just burst out laughing (in a good way) when I saw this cake. I tried to explain it to my coworkers but they just walked away shaking their heads :)
I LOVE IT!
Your friends are into animal testing, huh? :| Not cool!
