Cookie Creativity


My nephews are Very Creative.
And highly unusual.

down to a peg leg,
he would decorate the other with vegetables
(he stopped short of using Ranch dressing for frosting,
but the broccoli hair just cracks me up):


My mathematically inclined nephew Caleb also plays the bass,
so after carefully carving away excess cookie
(I believe the original was, appropriately enough, a tree)
he came up with this:


Here's Caleb's entire array of cookies:

If you enlarge the picture you can see the bottom pair

these are various atoms from the periodic table.
One is H20, the other?
