I'm doing a cell cake...and I am actually using a Swedish Fish (a gummy candy with squiggles on it) to mimic a mitochondrion....
Good luck! Jelly beans work too, I suppose...
You could use raisins or chocolate chips to represent mitochondria in an edible cell model. Cut up a fruit snack or gummy candy into small pieces to represent the inner membrane folds. Arrange these components within a larger gelatin or cake base to create a visually appealing representation of a cell with mitochondria.
For an edible plant cell, you can use gelatin as the cell membrane, green fruit leather for the chloroplasts, candy pieces for the vacuoles, and licorice for the cytoplasm and other organelles. For an edible animal cell, you can use gelatin again as the cell membrane, cake or brownie for the cytoplasm, gumdrops for the various organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria, and licorice for the centrioles.
Mitochondria.
the mitochondria produces the power or energy needed by burning food produced in the cell. (something to help you remember it: it's the powerhouse of the cell!)
The mitochondria breaks down chemical bonds the cell can use for energy

Mitochondria are responsible for converting nutrients from the food we consume into energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) that the cell can use. This process, known as aerobic respiration, occurs in the mitochondria's inner membrane.

big marshmallow
Chloroplasts and Mitochondria are evolutionary the oldest parts of a cell.
the nucleus
Mitochondria use the sugar glucose to change ADP into ATP. ATP is what produces energy the cell needs.
They use mesomes, which are bits where the cell membrane is away from the cell wall. All prokaryotes use mesomes and all eukaryotes use mitochondria
a fork and knife
That is to produce energy.Process involved is respiration
