hi :)
you may remember me as the girl who drew a comicbook featuring a mathematician superhero for her nerdlove boyfriend as a valentine's day present.
well, now his birthday is coming up, and I'd like to bake him a math-themed cake. I was wondering if any of you fine quantitative types had any ideas that would make a cool math-themed cake?
other than just making a sheet cake and putting an equation on it?
his favorite equation is the Fourier integral on the schwartz space, this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/7/4/f/74f0c6cd36620dd38e8cbc45088d887f.png
he also likes this one:

He's particularly interested in statistics and probably going back to school for a phd in stats.
my baking skills are ... i wouldn't go as far as saying superb, but pretty freaking good, so if it needs to be something complicated, multiple levels, 3D, tiered, etc, I could probably pull it off.
some other ideas, just to start brainstorming:
Maybe bake him a bunch of cupcakes, and put different things on each cupcake so you could make equations with them?
He also loves space/NASA stuff, so if all else fails and I can't think of a creative math-y cake, I'll make him an Armadillo Airspace rocketship cake :)
Thank you everyone for your ideas :)
