Edible cell

In science, Aaron modeled cells with candies on a graham cracker substrate. He ate the animal cell at school but saved the plant cell for me to see. Then he and Jordan ate the plant cell with breakfast.
Twizzlers: cell wall & cell membrane
Hershey's thing: nucleus, with nuclear membrane (shell) and DNA (letters)
Chocolate chips: endoplasmic reticulum (carefully arranged in a Z shape because in real life it has a zigzag structure)
Mento: Golgi body
Smarties: mitochondria
Green sprinkles: chloroplasts
Chocolate frosting: vacuole
Vanilla frosting: cytoplasm
