The “electric birthday cakes” bit caught my attention, so I got a copy thinking this would be fun for future birthday parties and science fairs. However, the book is definitely aimed for an older audience—the first project—complete with easy-to-follow instructions and pictures, is for edible underwear. Um, not quite what I had in mind for my 6-year old son! That said, while the book isn’t my personal cup of tea, I could certainly see this appealing to an adult, perhaps somewhat “geeky” audience. In addition to the, ahem, edible undies, projects include “super-chilled martinis,” beer brewing and pomegranate wine from scratch, a pumpkin pin-hole camera, a portable beer can stove, etc… So if you are of a scientific bent and have a steady hand (soldering irons or blowtorches are used in some of the projects), this just might be the book for you!
