Some time ago we showed how you can make Sierpinski triangles out of polymer clay, and followed that up by making fractal cookies, in the pattern of the Sierpinski carpet.
Another well-known simple fractal is the Koch Snowflake-- soon to be known as the Koch Cupcake! For this project we are experimenting with making iterated fractals out of edible doughs: marzipan and rolled fondant. We should note up front that neither is particularly easy to work with in this level of detail, but the result may well be worth the effort. Koch Cupcakes (along with Sierpinski cookies) certainly rank as optimal geek chow.
