Meet Dexter

By Linda | March 14, 2008

Science Junkies now has an official mascot!  His name is Dexter and he is our Mad Scientist in residence.  Dexter’s (and Science Junkie’s) motto is “Science is Sweet!”

Dexter first turned up on a birthday cake  created for us by Susie G’s  for our recent Science Party.  We had also wanted some cool science-themed cookies for our event but quickly discovered that cookie cutters shaped like atoms, test tubes, molecules and the like are not commercially available.  Rather than give up, we did what any self respecting scientist would do - we created our own science cookie cutters!

We used the Cookie Cutter Crafting Kit pictured above to create cutters in the shape of an atom, a test tube, a lab flask, Saturn and of course, Dexter the Mad Scientist!  It was actually much easier to make these than we had anticipated.  The Cookie Cutter Crafting Kit includes detailed instructions plus all of the necessary tools and supplies you will need to create dozens of cookie cutters.

Pictured above are all of the finished cookie designs.  The “cookieologists” at Susie G’s sure know what they’re doing!

Here is Dexter along with some of his clones.  Look for Dexter and other fun science-themed designs on tee shirts, coffee mugs and more in our Science Junkies Store!
