A bashful woman called Jennifer Harris sent me an email which read thus:
I thought I’d send you some pics of a geeky cake I did for my college’s Economics Liaison bake sale. Every year when the Simmons College Economics Liaison has a bake sale they like to have a supply and demand graph cake. This is the cake from the year. I headed up the bake sale. It’s not as fancy as some of the cakes you’ve featured on your blog, but it will certainly supply anyone’s demand for cake!
I wonder what quantities P and Q represent?
I would just like to say that I think Jennifer’s geekcake is fantastic. The passion and creativity and geek charm of a cake’s topic, are just as important as the finished product.
Jennifer I salute you and your most delicious looking cake!
See you all on Wednesday.
P=Price
Q= Quantity
P*= Equilibrium Price
Q*= Equilibrium Quantity
Jen!
I take it this blog is yours? This cake takes the cake, and the surplus cake, too. Whose birthday is next in the office? I see graphical gastronomy in their future.
