"A View to a Kill" is another great James Bond movie with terrible geology - he saves Silicon Valley by preventing an explosion that would cause both the San Andreas and Hayward faults from simultaneously moving. Also his love interest is the buxom state geologist.

I was not the creative force behind this cake, but I think they were Bugle chips

More cakes! This time for Dr. Hochschild on "Convergence of full-scale measurements and large-eddy simulations to advance the prediction of high-rise building wind loads". The cake is made to look like the wind pressure sensors he mounted on buildings, like the Space Needle!

This cake is for Dr. Ciarlatani, who presented on "An LES-based multi-fidelity framework for wind loading predictions." The cake is meant to look like a building, where the red and blue cotton candy represent vortices created by wind passing over the structure.

Next is a cake based on the Y2E2 building at Stanford for Dr. Vargiemezis, who placed a Y2E2 model in a wind tunnel for his research on "Modeling Wind Loading on Low-Rise Buildings in Urban Environments: Leveraging Large-Eddy Simulations and Deep Neural Networks To Quantify Interference Effects"

Here is a coral reef cake for Dr. Hamilton who presented on "The impact of turbulence and waves on mixing in coral reefs." The corals were made by drizzling melted sugar into a bowl of ice!

I have a whole backlog of amazing cakes I've been meaning to post too
