Beat egg whites with salt to moist, glossy peaks. Gradually beat in 3/4 cup sugar. In another bowl, beat egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar until thick; add lemon and pineapple juices and beat until sugar is dissolved.

Sift together the flour and baking powder; slowly beat into egg yolk mixture until well blended. Fold in egg whites. Bake in an ungreased 10-inch tube pan at 325° for 1 hour, or until cake bounces back when lightly touched with finger. Invert to cool.

Frost with Fluffy White Frosting or your favorite frosting, and garnish with coconut or maraschino cherries, if desired.

Fred the Fighting Fish

Nursing related (Keywords: fish)

Kevin gave me a fighting fish. I shall call him Fred. He will help me with the wedding plans and other things that are going on in my life lately. Fighting fish, for those who don\'t already know, are used to living in very small spaces. So, i have him living in an old peanut butter jar. I think we will be friends.

Fred kind of looks like this fighting fish, except that he\'s red, and smaller. and No wait, he doesn't look anything like that fish!

The Art of Wedding Favours

Wedding Links (Keywords: )

The Origin

Wedding favours have been around for as long as couples have been getting married. This age old tradition appears to have originated as a means for the wedding couple to express their appreciation to guests for being part of their wedding. An economical method, no doubt.

This concept has evolved to today’s way of couples letting their guests take home part of the magic of their wedding day. In different shapes, colours & sizes, wedding favours have become the means by which couples say a big "Thank You" to their guests, and also are an extension of the couple’s personalities as favours, very often, reflect the theme of the wedding.

Do-It-Myself or Get the Professionals?

Confronted by a guest list of 200, the task of preparing the favours may seem daunting. As a result, shops specialising in wedding favours have sprouted in the last few years. These establishments are dedicated to the ordering, wrapping & personalising of favours. Reputable shops also provide the delivery of these favours to the reception location. It does make sense to order your wedding favours from these specialty shops as they are in tune with the industry and can help match the favour to your budget. These shops also have a wide range of products for you to choose from. At the end of the day, you’ll find yourself saving time & money. How favourable!

How do I choose?

There are so many different types of favours in the market. And on top of that, you may wish to make modifications to the existing range, so as to ensure your guests receive something they have never received before. My advice would be to take 2 major issues into consideration. Firstly, you may wish to think about your budget. Typically, a wedding couple will not want to spend too much money on this aspect of their wedding. Also, the number of guests you are having will also play a major role in helping you decide how much to spend. Secondly, you’ll have to think about your wedding theme. The colours you are using in your decoration can be extended to your favour colour. For example, if you are having a beach wedding, you may wish to use seashells as your favour. These can be wrapped up and personalised with a ribbon or a short note.

The following is a list of practical favours that make very nice keepsakes for your wedding guests. I have also separated them into perishable & non-perishable. The favours can be wrapped in the tulle colour of your choice, placed in boxes, accompanied by ribbons & a short note, or even engraved.

Perishable

* Chocolates
* Cake
* Mints
* Almonds
* Fresh flowers

Non-perishable

* a pair of bells
* soap bubbles
* personalised notebooks
* personalised drink stirrers
* soaps
* aromatherapy products
* potpourri sachets
* candles
* souvenir programmes with couple’s photo
* engraved pens
* engraved wedding coins
* bookmarks

Top tips for perfect wedding flowers

Wedding Links (Keywords: )

Choose your florist carefully. "Word of mouth" is a florists best form of advertising. Ask your florist to make the bouquet on the day of the wedding. A dedicated florist would rather do this than make it up the previous day. Choose flowers that are in season the flowers will be cheaper and of better quality than those forced out of season.

If your dress is plain, then an elegant shower bouquet would look stunning. But if you have a more ornate decorated dress, a simple hand tied design would look more effective. (i.e. white roses or calla lilies with foliage).

Check with your florist before ordering flowers through your reception venue as they are usually more competitively priced and you know they will match those in the rest of the arrangements. One florists idea of cream or ivory may not be the same as someone else's.

Ask for your hairdressers advice on head-dresses as they are better qualified on suggesting a style of headers to complement your hair.

For younger maids, choose styles that can easily stand down, baskets and handtieds are ideal for little fingers. Flower balls and hoops are much more likely to be played with than held properly.

Check with the flower arrangers at the church. If you make a contribution toward the cost of the flowers they can achieve much larger effective arrangements you may be able to contact other brides getting married on the same day to share the costs. If you creams and white they will compliment everyone's colour theme.

Don't have your flowers delivered to early Two hours before hand is usually adequate. Florists have much better facilities to keep the flowers fresh.

Don't over order boutonnieres and corsages - just main members of the wedding party, Groom, Best man, Ushers, parents, and grandparents. Most other guest will expect to get their own.

If you are unsure of any part of your order check and if necessary re-check with your florist who wants you to be happy with your flowers. Remember they are floral artists and just like yourself, they want the finished order to be perfect.
