Using frosting, licorice, chocolate chips and sprinkles, international relations sophomore Lindsay Miller constructed an edible map of Israel.

Miller and two other students constructed their sweet geographical creations Tuesday night at the Hillel Jewish Student Center, 360 Charles St.

Audiology and speech sciences senior Rachel Zuckman laid out the foundation of her map using matzo crackers - a traditional Jewish food used for Passover - as she pointed to a small section of green sprinkles representing the Dead Sea.

"It's a different way to look at Israel which is not political," Zuckman said.
