Saving Money on a Wedding Cake

Friday, August 6th, 2010

One of the biggest focal points of a wedding reception is the beautiful wedding cake. That towering, flowering, blinding beautiful wedding cake with the two people standing on top, that the bride and groom cut and then feed to one another.

Although a lot of brides and grooms go with the traditional pound cake taste, it doesnt have to be that way.

Flavor -

If you dont go with the traditional pound cake taste for all of your layers, keep in mind that not everyone is going to like lemon or raspberry, or any other exotic flavors.

One popular alternative is chocolate chip cake. Another idea is to go with alternating chocolate and vanilla.

The top of your cake is traditionally saved and eaten on your first wedding anniversary. So choose the flavor that both of you will enjoy and make that your wedding topper.

Although a lot of cakes are purchased in a traditional bakery, there are a lot of supermarkets that make delicious cakes that arent as expensive.

If you are working on a budget, shop around for prices on wedding cakes and be sure to sample them. You may be surprised at what supermarkets can do.

If you have someone that has taken a cake decorating class and makes great cakes, you may find that they will do it as a wedding present and it will save you some money.

A wedding cake doesnt have to be expensive to be delicious, and you can find plenty of money saving ideas when looking for your wedding cake.

Trout Fishing Tips 27

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

I almost hate to bring this up, but I think I need to take a stand on this issue. Some people are concerned that catching fish hurts the fish. I’ve read that animal rights activists believe that fish feel pain. Personally, this has never been a concern for me (since I tend to reserve my compassion for warm-blooded animals and people!). So, my trout fishing secret on this subject is – until we know more, I will keep fishing!

My way of thinking is that the nervous systems of cold-blooded creatures are not that highly-developed. The unofficial theory is that invertebrates (they have no spine) and cold-blooded vertebrates, such as fish, don’t really have enough brain power to have complex sensations. Really, you could go nuts wondering when using live bait that the worm or bait feels pain, too! I can see it now – t-shirts with this on them: “Save the bait, use an artificial lure!”
