Description Soooooo I hate calculus, but when an extra credit idea I dream up gets approval, I pounce. A cake might not seem educational, but think again!!!! It's not very pretty, I know, but the equations written on it create a figure which, when roatated around an axis, makes the shape of a bundt cake, not unlike this one!!!! MIND BLOWING, ISN'T IT??? We're learning to find the volume of such figures. Wish me luck on tomorrow's quiz.

i dropped out of calculus because I hated it and also I got into art school around this time in senior year and realised that I wouldn't need math ever again. but if we had been able to make CAKES in calculus, I might have stuck it out. this looks great. green icing? how absurd

I can totally understand the sentiment! I've pretty much stopped caring by now...while everyone else is stressing about their math and science grades I'm just like "haha! I'm a theatre arts student!"

That was certainly a delicious cake... it made that torturous quiz quite a lot more bearable. Thank you. (p.s. I don't think she is going to count it)

I was never a fan of calculus, but now that I'm going to be doing a course with phsics in it I'm gonna have to learn! Maybe a few of your cakes could help

'Tis a cool idea
