Naked wedding cakes are ideal for brides on a budget

 

Wedding Cake

Your wedding cake will be one key detail you may have to make your decision based on many factors such as colour, theme and style but most importantly your budget. Wedding cakes can take a big chunk of your budget if you lay huge emphasis on the outside and less importance on taste. The most important thing is to have a clear understanding of what you want and how much you plan to spend, the firmer idea you have of your budget and the style of cake design you are looking for, the easier you are likely to spend less and choose wisely too. Less is more especially when it’s already delicious and if you are strictly working on a budget and looking to cut cost in every detail, here is a great place to start.

The naked cake

The new trend of unfrosted wedding cakes brings the desired relief for brides on a budget and also proves that you don’t need fondant or massive butter cream to make a beautiful wedding cake. Each layer of cake can look perfect without any help of icing or decorations.

These delightfully simple cakes make a statement by baring it all as it doesn’t wrap itself in a giant cloak of fondant. This cake doesn’t cover itself in a dress of ruffles. She stands there tall and proud to be totally naked and free from the excessive sugar coatings, great for today’s wedding guests who often take the icing off the cakes themselves.

Co-pilot deliberately crashed Germanwings plane – Report

Andreas Lubitz

The co-pilot of the Germanwings flight that crashed in the French Alps, named as Andreas Lubitz, appeared to want to “destroy the plane”, officials said.

Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin, citing information from the “black box” voice recorder, said the co-pilot was alone in the cockpit, the British Broadcasting Corporation reports.

He intentionally started a descent while the pilot was locked out.

Robin said there was “absolute silence in the cockpit” as the pilot fought to re-enter it.

He said air traffic controllers made repeated attempts to contact the aircraft, but to no avail. Passengers could be heard screaming just before the crash, he added.

Details are emerging of the German co-pilot’s past – although his apparent motives for causing the crash remain a mystery.

Lubitz, 28, had undergone intensive training and “was 100% fit to fly without any caveats”, according to Carsten Spohr, the head of Lufthansa, the German carrier that owns Germanwings.

Election times are stressful, mind your health

Ask everyone involved in the ongoing election campaigns, and they’d mince no words in telling you that their health has never been the same since they hit the road in their effort to convince the electorate to cast their votes for their party and candidates.

Those who have the financial means have their physicians in tow, so that their health indices could be monitored and appropriate treatment or counseling offered before things turn ugly.

Indeed, in order to prove his strength the other day, President Goodluck Jonathan carried about a 12-year-old girl during the Great Abuja March!

Of course, there isn’t much the average politician seeking election or reelection can do when it comes to
