Make Sweet Memories that’ll take the cakeBY ANNE ARNTSON/CELEBRATIONS WRITER

CAKES AND PHOTOS COURTESY OF SANDRA GAYLE WADE

Decorating desserts with children can make any occasion (or just a rainy day)

extra special. Creating yummy and oh-so-cute treats are easy and fun — great for

little helpers in the kitchen.

Young stargazers will shoot into space when they make a blast-off snack

cake, com plete with astronaut and candy fl ames. Bee-utiful bee-topped

cupcakes are sure to

bring on quite a buzz, while princess-ready chariot cookies will sweep

any mini-majesty off her feet.

Ready to get started? These tips for decorating with kids will

help.

BE PREPARED Get organized and assemble all the

tools and ingredients you’ll need before you start. Keep

towels handy for quick and easy cleanup.

KEEP AGE IN MIND Preschoolers have shorter

attention spans and like instant results, while el-

ementary age children can handle more involved

tasks.

CONSIDER KID-FRIENDLY

PRODUCTS The Wilton Kids™ line offers

a variety of fun tools and supplies. Mini pans,

vibrant-colored icings and fl exible silicone

stretchy cutters — no sharp edges — make

creating scrumptious sweet treats a cinch.

THINK SPRINKLES Kids of all ages love

this go-to decoration. Set out sprinkles in a variety of

colors and shapes and let imaginations run wild with creative

decorating ideas.

HAVE FUN Turn up some music, take plenty of pictures and enjoy the quality

time.

Visit wilton.com for more kid-approved projects and to order products from the

Wilton Kids line.

Decorating with kids – it’s child’s play

MORE KID-FRIENDLY RECIPES ON J7

aking your own birthday cake and decorating

it is a great way to celebrate a special person’s

big day. It’s not that hard to do, yet it’ll make

lasting memories for your little ones.

So when Abby wanted to be a princess on her second

birthday, aunt Sandra Gayle Wade made sure she had a

cake to make her feel like one.

Wade is a self-taught cake connoisseur in her spare

time. Her cakes show you that you don’t have to be a pastry

chef or have your own TV show to make a delicious, cre-

ative confection.

Wade provided these helpful tips for making a cake fi t

for your little princess.

Her fi rst tip: Use pound cake, as it’s denser and

holds it shape better than other varieties.

Another great tip: Purchase a Barbie doll to

use on the cake as decoration. After the cake

is eaten, you can present it as a gift to the

birthday girl. Make sure to wash the doll with

soap and hot water before putting it in the cake

to make sure it’s squeaky-clean. Wrap the doll’s

head in plastic wrap and from the waist down

to keep it clean during decorating, suggested

Wade, and unwrap right before the big

presentation.

For the doll’s upper body and top

half of the skirt, Wade used colored

fondant. As for the skirt, you can

purchase skirt molds at local craft

and cookware stores; however,

Wade used what she had in her

kitchen. To make the body

of the skirt, she cooked

part of the cake in a

glass bowl to give it

its fullness. For the

bottom trim, she

used a round,

single-layer

cake pan.

And now the fun part: To

decorate, she lathered on but-

tercream frosting and made

icing roses using a rose nail-

icing tool. Make the roses

beforehand and put them

in the freezer to make them

easier to handle. Get the kids

to help place the roses on the

cake. It’s a great way to get them

involved, while still keeping the

presentation intact, said Wade.

For the burger lovers in your family,

make a hamburger cake they’re sure to love.

Let’s start from the top.

To make the bun, you’ll want to bake pound

cake in a round, casserole-sized dish. Top it off

with tasty buttercream frosting and pine nuts

to look like sesame seeds. For the smaller bot-

tom bun, use a single-layer cake pan and coat

with frosting.

For the hamburger, bake two pound cakes

in round cake pans and cover in chocolate

frosting. Buy plain chocolate cookies

(no icing), put them in a plastic bag

and crush them into small, crumbly

pieces. Your little helpers can help you

here, too. Then, coat the frosting with

the cookie crumbs, giving the cake its

meaty texture.

Wade suggested baking the

pound cake – for the bun

and the meat – the night

before and putting it in the

refrigerator, so it’s easier to

decorate the next day; but

the cake will still be

fresh if it’s made

one to two

days before.

Now it’s time to layer on the extras.

To make tomatoes, buy refrigerated sugar cookie

dough, slice and bake. To give them their color, Wade

dipped the baked cookies in warmed red icing.

To make lettuce, Wade purchased a multicolored pack

of orange slices–the jellied candies–choosing the green slic-

es. Sprinkle sugar on your surface and on the rolling pin,

and roll the slices out to give them a lettuce-like texture.

Top off the burger with melted cheddar cheese, in this

case, yellow-tinted icing.

For an extra special treat, make french fries using sugar

cookie dough. Roll it out and cut into french fry-shaped

sticks, then bake. Coat with the extra red icing to resemble

Timing is a funny thing, isn’t it? Sometimes you need more of it, while at other times you can’t make the clock hands move fast enough. The same goes for wedding planning. One minute, you’re mesmerized by that new shiny ring as your Facebook page blows up with congratulatory notes. The very next? You’re sitting in a puddle of tulle on your living room floor three days prior to the wedding trying to figure out how exactly you got there.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again — the standard wedding timelines you’ll run across during your planning are just that — generic. They don’t speak to your big day specifically, which means they won’t cover some of the pertinent to-do’s. We guarantee that if you make that timeline your mantra, you’ll find yourself drowning under a pile of Post-it notes in no time.

So what’s a bride to do? Here are a few Wedology 101 time tips to keep you on your toes and on track as the countdown begins:

1. Location is ev-erything, and they go quickly, so this should be first on the list. You do, of course, need a roof over your fabulous shindig, so set a day aside and line up those tours.

2. Don’t let the dress deadlines sneak up on you, as it can very easily take six to eight months to get that gown of your dreams or-dered, not to mention altered to perfection. Don’t forget about the ’maids, as some of those fabulous shantung numbers can take up to six months to tailor as well.

What about the guys, you

say? As our friend Phyllis Mullens from Bella Rosa gently reminded us, the gentlemen need to place their tuxedo rentals at least six to eight weeks prior to the event.

“They may also want to or-der even earlier to assure they get the styles and colors they want,” explained Mullens. “When the bride chooses the bridesmaid gowns, it would be a good time to select the tuxedos and colors as well.”

3. Have a hankering for custom wedding sta-tion-ery that will dazzle your guests? Forget the usual advice to have invita-tions on the brain just a few months prior to the wedding. Swoon-worthy designs take time, so get the stationer on the phone when the six-month deadline approaches.

“Ready-to-order station-ery,” said PaperFreckles’ owner Coleen Akers, “can take as little as one to two weeks to turn around. Fully custom stationery, on the other hand, usually takes as little as two months and upwards of six depending on what you’d like.”

Then, with the help from our customized checklist, pick what’s most important to you and book it. Have to have a three-tiered confec-tionary concoction from your favorite baker, but you haven’t booked anyone else? Go ahead and give your “must have” a call and start finding ways to burn off those cake sample calories.

Time waits for no one, especially the bride with a list of to-do’s as long as that aisle she’ll soon be rocking. So grab a calendar, a pad of paper and ample caffeine, and start planning the wed-ding of your dreams.

DIY is more popular than ever, especially when it comes to your wedding — and sav-ing money. Creativity is always wonderful, but sometimes problems emerge when coupes think they can do it all themselves and end up with headaches. Still want to try? Here are a few ways to DIY your wedding.

Address your own invitations

Head to Ben Franklin, Michael’s or a Staples-type store and look for a good felt tip pen with a slanted tip. Believe me, the slanted tip can usually turn the worst handwriting into a beauti-ful cursive masterpiece. Practice on a ruled legal pad before addressing costly envelopes.

Wedding programsMost Word programs

can give you pamphlet templates to help create various programs. Type in your information, save to your zip drive and head to the nearest printing shop. Select your paper and, for .43 cents a page or less, your programs can be printed. Or you can use your own home printer. And remem-ber, while creating your own programs allows you the option of last-minute additions or changes, don’t go too last-minute. I’ve had to console many a couple who stayed up late the night before their own wedding

making these.

FavorsCouples have been get-

ting so creative with their fa-vors — from grandmother’s homemade jam to father’s homemade bottled wine! Get out of the mindset that your favors have to be something you buy; if you

have a unique talent in your family, use it!

Place cards, menu cards, table numbers

Not looking for any-thing too fancy? Many craft stores carry pre-bordered or designed place cards/table numbers/menu cards and accompanying templates on their web pages. Just type and print! Or for a personal touch on place cards, whip out that felt pen with the slanted tip and label them yourself.

Overlays or table runners

Someone who is adept with a sewing machine is needed for this project. Once you have him or her lined up, check out your local fabric shops for great deals on fabric in various textures, colors and pat-terns.

Bring along an accurate measurement of your table size, and allow additional fabric for sewing seams (usually 5/8” per seam). Ask the clerk for help if you want to double-check before buying.

Hopefully these projects helped satisfy some DIY urges. As always, when doing DIY projects, make sure they can be completed at least one week before the wedding so that you can enjoy every moment of this exciting time!

Happy Planning!

Finding the perfect gown

tips for trying on wedding gowns

fashion

Many brides-to-be look forward to the day when they visit a bridal salon and are able to try on gowns for the first time. There are certain tips that can make the day go much more smoothly and potentially reduce the amount of time it may take to find the perfect gown.

• Wear a supportive, well constructed strapless bra or corset in your correct size. If you will be wearing a petticoat, also have the right size available.

• Go without face makeup when trying on gowns so they remain clean.

• Try to wear your hair similar to the style you have in mind for your wedding.

• Note that the size of the wedding gown you will wear is typically one to two sizes larger than your day-to-day clothes. Proper measurements can be matched to designers’ size charts.

• It’s best to limit the number of people with whom you shop to one or two trusted friends or family members. An entourage can be overwelming.

• It’s always better to order a slightly larger gown and leave room for alterations if you are between sizes.
