Many people are making weddings much more personal by creating their own wedding cake or having a family member do this. This is great for economizing and helps to make that special day even more memorable.

 

Trends with wedding cakes vary, and it is always best to speak with the bride and groom to see what color theme they are following and whether they have any specific requirements.

 

Probably the one feature that will be evident in most wedding cakes is the icing. Both the texture and the color usually follow the set uniform of white and smooth. Using fondant icing will help to create the smooth and elegant image that wedding cakes are renowned for.

 

Once you have the icing sorted, it is time to focus on the intricate decorations that will sit on top and along the side of the cake. These can be time consuming, but there are many ways around this.

 

First of all ensure that you have top quality tools. A non-stick piping bag and nozzles in a variety of different sizes and lengths will aid you in your quest to create a beautiful and elegant wedding cake.

 

If you do not have the patience to create sugar flowers then consider getting a small bouquet of real flowers to arrange on the cake. This idea for decorating wedding cakes can save you hours and can look just as effective as creating sugar flowers.

 

Alternatively, to make your cake more contemporary, you could consider using pearls to decorate the cake. Doing this will give your cake a sophisticated and chic feel, and as long as you aren’t using real pearls, the cost will not be excessive. This can easily help flow into the theme of the wedding creating opulence easily.

 

If the bride and groom are looking for a bright and fun wedding cake, then consider decorating your wedding cake in small icing dots or tear drops. This type of decoration for a wedding cake is suited for relaxed weddings with couples who are looking for alternative cakes.

 

The size of the wedding will reflect the size of the wedding cake and on the amount of layers you will be expected to decorate. Traditionally, the layers all mimicked one another, but in recent years there has been a trend to vary the design for each layer.

 

If your bride and groom do want their wedding cake decorated in this way, try to keep at least one cake decorating  feature the same, whether it is the flowers or the colors, by doing this it will demonstrate the thought and the theme will still be more than evident.

 

Finally we cover how to go about putting the wedding cake layers together. This has to be the most difficult part of creating a wedding cake. Traditionally pillars that have used have resembled roman pillars. This is not the case now however. You can get a whole range of supporting columns that will add to your design.

 

You need to ensure that the columns will stand firmly and evenly, so it is essential to measure to get the levels spot on. And you can now use a layered cake stand that looks just as effective without the tense moment of wondering if the cake will stand unaided.

 

These can come in a variety of styles to suit and enable you to emphasize the most important decorating features of your wedding cake design.

 

The internet has an endless supply of ideas and designs for wedding cakes, as long as you have the time a patience to keep surfing for as long as it takes to get the perfect design idea for your dream wedding cake.  Once you have decided on the design, you just need to get some training and practice to be able to create the masterpiece yourself and impress everyone on the big day!

 

 

 

Who was the best?

Elvis Presley VS Michael Jackson, who was the best. To be frank they were both brilliant entertainers in their own right.

Elvis presley

Elvis was a singer from the 1950′s through to the 60′s and 70′s and died at the age of 42 on 16th August 1977 at his home at Graceland of Cardiac Arrest and not a Heart Attack as was reported. Elvis left one daughter Lisa Marie aged 9.

Elvis had suffered from glaucoma, water retention in the past and the effects of years of American Southern cooking and legal use of drugs prescribed by his physician, which ultimately lead to the singers death. Elvis played racquetball in the morning before he died. He returned to his home and played Unchained Melody in his living room, then he proceeded to his bedroom, so Elvis seemed to be quite fit as he was preparing for another concert tour.

Michael Jackson

Michael was a singer from the 1960′s,70′s,80′s,90′s through to 2009 when he died at the age of 50 on 25th June 2009 at his home at Holmby Hills in Los Angeles, he also died of reported cardiac arrest. Michael left 3 children Prince Michael, 10; Paris Katherine, 9; and Prince Michael II, aka “Blanket,” 5.

Michael suffered for years from a skin disorder vitiligo, a rare disease that discolors the face and body, plus he had many cosmetic surgery operations at least 20, to change his face as he was unhappy with his features especially his nose, probably as a result from physical and mental abuse in his childhood.

Jackson probably died as a result of all the stress and anguish of the years of accusations and resulting court cases over the last 10-15 years. Michael was apparently fighting fit two days before his death, as he was preparing to play a 50 date concert at the O2 Arena in London, England. His body most likely couldn’t take the strain of the rehearsals that put upon him.

Difference between Cardiac Arrest and Heart Attack

A heart attack is when the heart becomes irregular and there is ciculation problems.

A cardiac arrest is when the heart stops beating and happens without warning. Though they are both deadly, a cardiac arrest needs treatment within minutes if not seconds, where as a heart attack can come on more slowly, as long as the patient is made comfortable they can survive long enough for help to arrive, but I must STRESS this is not always the case as every situation is different.

Summary

The difference between the two singers, you can’t really judge as Elvis Presley started it all,he was the original music rebel, as John Lennon said ‘If it wasn’t for Elvis Presley, there would be no Beatles” he was known as the King of Rock’n’ Roll, a title given to him by his fans.

Michael Jackson is what started the video era, even todays music videos do NOT have a patch on any of his videos, even the ones from the 1970′s. The King of Pop is the self-proclaimed title that was given to him by Elizabeth Taylor who had become a close friend and advisor.

All in all they both were geniuses in there own genre giving fans and the World music they loved, movements and dances that are and still original, which nobody can immitate, even though they spawned thousands of immitators, tribute acts, impersonators(imps) or whatever you want to call them. There will NEVER be another Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson.

A group of writers from Asean on a reporting excursion of Pluralism and Religious Freedom in US took a visit to Elvis Presley’s Graceland. The tour emphasized the influence of Elvis’ religious beliefs on his early singing career. When he was in his teenage years, he had worn bright, loud clothes and sported long sideburns. The king of rock and roll was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, and died on August 18, 1977.

During the tour on Graceland, one had constantly reminded that Elvis started by singing every Sunday in church. In 1951, some years before he became a rock ’n’ roll sensation, he attended youth organization at the “First Assembly of God” (a church in Memphis’ McLemore Avenue) “He came in late,” said Blackwood, Stamps (one of the popular Blackwood Brother Quartet).  Stamps, the only 2nd baritone in the 63-year history of the Southern gospel’s renowned quartet, became the best friend of Elvis when they were sixteen and high-school mates in Memphis.

“When he comes in class, everyone would stare at Elvis because he dressed a bit different. His hair was different too. Elvis had long side-burns, and he wore second-hand clothes, loud and bright, white shoes, and a red coat,” Blackwood recalled.

Elvis’ family lived in a simple wooden shack located at the poorest area of Tupelo. His father Vernon later moved them to Memphis. Despite the poverty they were experiencing, Gladys, his mother ensured that Elvis would not turn to crime for them to survive. In 1958 when he was on leave from the US Army, he was strolling on his beloved Graceland home. He had bought the isolated house of Memphis to run away from public attention.

Elvis’ decision to create a record at Sun Studios in Memphis for his mother’s birthday was a turning point in his life and it popularized rock ’n’ roll forever. He paved the way for other performers to sing and present the Afro-American music. As one went through Elvis’ beloved Graceland home, the audiotape tour restated that gospel music was Elvis favorite music.

The old folks at Memphis remembered the early days when the legendry singer strummed his guitar to the blues with the Afro-American singers. Blues song was borne out of hardship and slavery. This music became a form of therapy in the midst of painful experience. The king of rock ‘n’ roll sought relief by singing these blues music as it expressed pain and love from the human heart.

The Graceland tour as well exposed that Elvis warmed-up for his recording sessions with gospel music, and when not, he was always at his home playing his favorite hymns on piano.

During his lifetime, he completed 3 gospel albums: “Hand in Mine” during the 1960, “How Great Thou Art” in 1967 which won the Grammy award for the best sacred performance and “He Touched Me” in 1971. These albums, along with many inspirational tracks of his live performances, are enclosed in the two CD set called the “Amazing Grace.” The collection had not only given spotlight to the remarkable talents of Elvis, but as well served as an opening to the various styles of Southern gospel.

Since then, Elvis was not just a rock ‘n’ roll star; he was also the most versatile song and dance artiste.
