Re-inventing a Classic

Posted on August 3, 2017 at 12:20 AM

This past weekend we presented Carol and Raul's wedding cake at the Clinton Town Hall in Clinton, Massachusetts. Our lovely bride Carol is very traditional and wanted to have an old-school wedding cake with separate tiers, and fountains. Sometimes making classic cakes can feel a bit dated but I was up for the challenge. Carol is young and vibrant so I wanted to highlight her youth by adding a modern twist to her vision.


I decided to give it a fresh look by adding ruffles emulating the wedding dress, and gilded decorations. The touch of gold made the cake look regal and timeless. The bride also wanted to highlight her Caribbean roots by having bright flowers. I added white lilies and coral roses with touches of champagne spray roses. To add to the tropical theme, the bride and groom selected for cake flavors Passion Fruit, Morir Soñando (orange cream) and Pina Colada.

Now let's talk about the size of this cake. Holy macaroni! it's huge! Let's go over all it went in to create this cake:

For this 250 servings cake I used 156 eggs, 14 lbs of flour, 18 lbs of butter, 24 lbs of sugar, 15 lbs of fondant and about 10 grams of edible gold dust (believe me, that's a lot of gold). It took 45 hours to complete, 1.5 hours to deliver and 1.5 hours to set up at the venue. 


After all was said and done, I think I accomplished what I set out to do, create a breathtaking, classic, and timeless centerpiece for a delightful couple who celebrated their love in from of all their family and friends, and I couldn't be more proud. Mission Accomplished! ;)

Youth and sexting at the moment have not always gone well. Many of the young men involved have had sex with girls under the age of 13.

"There are a number of young men, most of them girls, who have not yet grown up."

The police believe more than 2,000 girls are now sexually assaulted by members of the online chat groups.

There are also rumours that there may be up to 1000 boys in the group and there are some girls who have joined the group because they were interested in meeting younger men online.

The Independent has contacted Facebook for comment.

Arrests will stem drug crimes police have long viewed as being perpetrated by organized crime and organized groups.

Police have arrested 11 alleged members of the FARC since 2009, according to figures released last month by Colombian authorities, and two others were arrested last month. Since the beginning of 2009, Colombian authorities have arrested more than 200 alleged members of a group called "C�³mo al Guarico," or the Guerilla Front.

While cocaine traffickers rarely participate in drug deals, authorities have increasingly seized the lucrative cocaine market in Colombia in recent years. Many cocaine traffickers are linked to organized crime, and many are arrested for drug-related crimes, including murder, rape, extortion, money laundering and money laundering, according to US officials.

A recent review of Colombia's drug laws by the US State Department's International Narcotics Control Board, a joint U.S. agency of the departments of State and Justice, highlighted how Colombia has become a major transit nation for cocaine-bound drug ships to and from the United States, according to an excerpt from the report.

"In October 2001, there were more than 7.6 million illegal cigarettes on Colombian ships, valued at $1.5 billion in 2013, equivalent to 6 percent of all international exports," according to the State Department.

While Colombian authorities believe they have taken significant strides in combating cocaine trafficking, they have also recently seized another "kingpin" in the drug trade -- a drug trafficker named Julio Cesar Gonzalez.

The DEA's drug division is calling him the head of a Colombian cartel.

According to a press release, Gonzalez, a 56-year-old "pimienta" and former "siglo de fiesta," was a member of the "Pagul", a drug-trafficking syndicate that used the alias of "Guatemalan."

The press release says he was arrested July 15 on charges of murder, trafficking in arms, trafficking in narcotics, and other federal and state-level offenses.

According to a press release, authorities say "Sieg, alias Iglesia 'Espect' y Guadalupe," or "El Pimienta y El Guadalupe" (the three stars and an E), allegedly had the leadership positions in the Colombian drug operation. "This leader has been a longtime supplier of illegal firearms," it said.

Cesar Gonzalez was indicted on February 24 by a court in Bogot�¡ on two counts of murder, trafficking in arms and conspiracy to export narcotics.

The news of this alleged Colombian leader's arrest comes a few months after an arrest in Colombia of a Colombian army colonel who the state claimed was involved in a plot to kidnap, rob and murder high-ranking officials. On June 24, stat

Howard supports move to draft stem cell bill: The bill would authorize a state agency ââ?¬â?? such as that of Kentucky's public health department ââ?¬â?? to perform stem cell-based treatments such as blood transfusions or transplants as a way to combat the disease that afflicts half of all Americans.

Ohio seeks to block transgender student rights: At a meeting of Gov. John Kasich's legislative task force on Thursday, the Ohio Senate blocked a bill that would have given transgender students the ability to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity. The measure's sponsor, Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said in a statement the state "believes in protecting our children."

Kansas to begin use of statewide mandatory education day after Thanksgiving: Last month, Republicans in the Kansas House began a bill that would have prohibited "anti-American" activities on a school-based basis. The bill would also have required public schools to teach science to seventh- and eighth-grade students on the assumption they were aware of the dangers of climate change.

U.S. Senate Republicans to consider House bill to prohibit Obama's executive amnesty: The American Petroleum Institute announced Thursday it would lobby U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, to support Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., in supporting a measure being proposed by U.S. Reps. Dave Reichert, R-Wash., and David Schweikert, R-Ariz. The group, which is expected to be among the most powerful in Congress, would introduce the bill as an amendment to the Senate's sweeping comprehensive immigration reform legislation.

Move to smut resistant cane estimated to take 5 years, at least �£9m for a 1,100 acre scheme at �£3m/acre or �£1m/acre at �£4m, plus tax

Mr Turner says there has been a flurry of activity for gay dating services in the past few weeks.

He adds: "It's always difficult for some people to accept that their sexual orientation can change. But now it is time for them to accept they can change, as the majority can change, but not everyone is gay.

"This is about having the right to change to who you want to be and where you want to go.

"What a very personal decision, and a very significant one for me."

A spokeswoman for the National Lottery said a spokesman said: "This was not just a question of playing cards with us, but also for every man, every woman, every gay person to choose their own identity.

"Our prizes are based on our criteria, and we offer the widest range of prizes to reflect the needs of any category.

"We want to respect all sides of society."

Crispin critical of govt in farwell speech ââ?¬â?? and then the government went quiet."

The Labour councillor said he had been informed that Mr Duncan would not be going to the debate.

Mr Tipton told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It's very much a matter for him. The Labour party does have a message for the Government, it's an important one."

Mr Tipton said Labour wanted a free vote and he would "certainly get in and vote" for the Government if it was prepared to listen to his party and respect the will of the people.

Analysis The Government does not want to deal with another "no go" vote and as a result a vote of no confidence has been declared by Labour. This would be the fourth time such a vote has been declared by the party leader in the last 14 years. But there may be a difference of opinion over how it would deal with the govt. On the political scale the vote by MPs to no confidence has to be considered as low as a mere three points. The Lib Dems are confident that their vote will go as expected. But Labour is not a party that wants to use a vote of no confidence as a bargaining chip. The result will be decided by party conference. And that should tell you something about how Labour feels about the Government - if their internal divisions mean they go further back than expected to make their case.

Asked if it was clear that Mr Duncan would go, Mr Tipton said: "Well obviously he wants to go but he will need to respect the will of the people to do so in the very last moment and make sure he has a very free and frank vote.

"I think we've got to look at it the way the media and people know it will happen because he has been in parliament for 14 years and is very well known around London."

But he later added: "There are two sides to every story and there are a lot of things to come for the people of Farwell who want to hear it, and to see how the Government looks on this issue from both perspectives.

"I think we will be having a debate on the floor of the house of commons tomorrow morning and I will certainly be voting for the Government and also looking at all the views from MPs and others in both parties that will take place in those debates."

He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that the Government had no intention of dealing with a vote of no confidence by MPs.

He said that in the absence of a parliamentary vote the Government would be relying upon an "enthusiastic" vote at the conference and Mr Duncan would have to decide by December 26 or on December 27 whether he would hold a vote, at that stage, to continu

Nurse warning over winter hospital peak, fears of flu are overblown, says study

Updated

The number of nurses who have reported seeing increased flu risks this winter has also been understated, a new study has found.

It found there was no evidence of an increased risk of flu on the hospital's hospital day when it comes to the peak of hospital admissions.

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) report said there was no evidence hospitals' own advice on hospital flu, called the SACW, had been significantly impaired by the winter's cold snap.

"Given the fact that influenza season has already been unusually mild, it should come as no surprise that there has been no increased risk of influenza hospitalisations on the hospital day and the corresponding nights of admissions in this recent cold spell," a summary for the report said.

SACW provides hospital officials with advice on how to address the possible flu pandemic that could affect the rest of the country in the coming weeks.

Dr David Rennie, chief of infectious diseases at the Royal Victorian Hospital, which is treating an outbreak of H1N1, or Middle Eastern Influenza, at it Melbourne hospital, said the recent cold snap in Sydney and Brisbane may have played a factor in the spike in influenza cases.

"I don't know about the flu, but that's been the weather in Australia all winter," he said.

"If it's not the Australian weather I'm talking about then it's probably the air and the cold that's causing this (flu pandemic) trend.

"We've already got a large number of people with flu, it's all seasonal in this country."

Dr Rennie said he was aware of the fact there had been no increase in the hospital's staff working on flu but there were signs in the study suggesting the risks were overblown.

"I think you have to wonder, is it some sort of statistical thing ââ?¬â?? can it really be overstated? Maybe it's a big case of seasonal flu overblown," he said.

Hospital peak times: Nurses warned of potential flu

Two nurses from the Victorian Emergency department were among those reporting increased flu risk but those numbers did not compare favourably with the figures on the hospital day for the peak of hospital admissions, the NHMRC said.

It added: "It's not as if the nurses themselves are immune to a cold snap or flu season, so this really raises an obvious question for them which is, how much risk does their own staff actually face for that day?"

Professor George Farrar, an infectious disease consultant for the HMO of Tasmania, said: "There are a number of ways of trying t

Death cap mushrooms warning!

As I mentioned before, this is another of my new favorites. I haven't posted it before, as it isn't a mushroom I often want to see in my house but that didn't stop me from making this. I made the cake a day earlier and froze it on Sunday, just because I hadn't gotten around to it in a while. The frosting is very simple yet so flavorful that it really brings out the flavors of the cake.

The cake has all of the flavors of a traditional cake: rich rich, fluffy, chocolate cake. It's rich yet chewy, soft yet chewy, soft yet dense. It has all of the texture of an extremely hard cake, yet it still has a soft texture. It's rich yet soft yet rich!

My kids LOVE it and absolutely love having it for lunch! They love it and I love to eat it because it's a beautiful cake with lots of flavor. It's a great light snack!

Makes 10 cakes.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 ounces (3.5-ounce) salted caramel, chopped

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (I used half the granulated sugar, but feel free to use extra if you'd like)

3/4 cup sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 cup milk (I used this for my first recipe but substitute with whole milk)

3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 ounces (1 tablespoon) unsweetened cocoa powder

2 large eggs, room temperature

1/2 cup unsweetened confectioners' sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8Ã?â??8 baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside for 15 minutes to let the butter melt. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and butter. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat on medium-high speed until just incorporated. Slowly add the sugar and beat for one minute more. Add in the melted butter and mix on medium-high speed until just combined. Reduce the speed to medium and add the salt, milk, and vanilla.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 17 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Spread each cake with the melted butter and decorate with confectioners' sugar, chocolate, and candied yams o
