These patterns are kept to be used over again or to refer to when she needs new ideas. Cake patterns are made from large pieces of plain white paper. Facial details, clothing, etc. are included on the pattern. This makes it easier to mix frostings and to apply detail when Cynthia is icing the baked cake. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to list all the designs Cynthia has used for cakes. The finished product reflects the personality of the person who is to receive the cake. A cake that looked like a cake mix box was appropriate for a friend who didnt like to make cakes from scratch. A television addict received a cake decorated to resemble a T.V. set. For the youngster who enjoys after school snacks, Cynthia made a cake to look like a giant peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Another cake, oblong in shape, turned out to be a frosted calculator. Hamburger cakes, taco cakes, and disco hit record cakes are all other creations of Cynthia. Mrs. Gardner works as the secretary at Layton Elementary School. One of her cakes was shaped like the Layton Dragon symbol. THE GARDNER children can all trace their lifes story through the pictures of cakes their mother has made for them. Baby cakes are cut into small squares and frosted to look like baby building blocks. Scouting achievements like earning the Cub Scout Bear, Wolf, Bobcat, Weblo and Arrow of Light awards were all honored by Cynthia who made special cakes to resem ble the award her child was receiving. When one of the Gardner boys was chosen to represent Layton High School as a Sterling Scholar, Cynthia made a scholarly-lookin- g cake. A Lay tone cake was appropriate for a son who sang with this musical group. Two of Cynthias sons have worked as checkers in local grocery stores. A cake decorated to look like a grocery bag was very appropriate for these boys. Cynthia purchased small packages of groceries and gathered sample products to fill the empty bag. Cynthia says she prefers baking the cakes she is going to decorate in a conventional round, square or oblong cake pan. You are too restricted when you buy a cake pan that is made in a certain shape, she says. THE FIRST thing you must do when you want to decorate a cake is to decide on the design you want. Choose a pan to fit the design that you have sketched out. CYNTHIA SAYS any cake is alright to decorate. When baking the cake, she wraps a piece of moist terry cloth around the outside edge of the cake pan. Cynthia has a special piece of material cut that will just fit her baking pans. The moist terry cloth cools the outside of the pan and the cake bakes at a more uniform rate. The edges don't get done before the middle. This is important because it is much easier to decorate a cake that is level and free of cracks. After the cake has cooled, Cynthia removes it from the pan and allows it to sit unfrosted overnight or for several hours. This dries the sides out a little and makes the cake easier to frost. LELORD KORDEL Your great desire is to live a long, useful life, all the while looking and feeling far younger than your years. Certainly this is a goal worth aiming at. But are you prepared to abide by the Commandments? Because everything worth attaining has a price. And the price of a long, youthful life is planned diet. g At first, the careful and judicious selection of foods will be a novelty youll enjoy. But after that may come the danger period when the novelty provided by a new regimen begins to wear off, and you are tempted to lapse into the oh, it's too much trouble" kind of defeatist thinking. Yet 1 promise you that once you have successfully weathered this period of temptation to return to the old haphazard way of eating, you'll subconsciously begin accepting, or rejecting, each food on the basis of its contribution to your youthfulness and long life, with the same skill as that exercised by a trained nutritionist. Instictively, you will avoid the old goey meals with which you formerly insulted your body. FOOD COMMANDMENTS The food commandments I shall lay down are those that will afford you taste pleasures and adventures in good eating the like of which you have seldom enjoyed before. Lets take these six general rules - commandments I by one, in detail, as they pertain have called them--on- e of to your goal attaining a long, youthful, enjoyable life. e proteins in My first commandment is abundance. The protein story has been developed rather fully for is no need to you in the preceding chapters, so there essential for is that fact the protein repeat at length nerves, muscles, and your rebuilding feeding, repairing vital and organs. tissues, glands In case of illness or convalescence, protein is the rebuilder of your health.

She combines powdered sugar, shortening, vanilla, canned milk and sometimes a little Cool Whip. She blends the frosting ingredients with an electric mixer. Colors are formed using the liquid food coloring. The frosting keeps well when stored in a covered dish in the refrigerator. CYNTHIA places her pattern in front of the cake and starts by doing the big areas first. Details are added by using a frosting tube and different shaped tips. Often cake decorating and other homemaking arts go unoticed and unappreciated. Recently Cynthia reefforts. ceived a special reward for her Her sons made her a rainbow cake for her birthday. BLOOD DISORDERS First, well take blood disorders. One of the most common of these in persons past 40 is anemia. The paleness which has come to be associated with growing older is often nothing except a visible symptom of nutritional anemia. Theres no reason why a person shouldnt possess a healthy, glowing complexion in later years, provided his blood is rich with red coloring matter. But healthy blood cannot be formed without protein any more than it can be maintained without the minerals iron and copper. You cant build good red blood on tea and toast. Anemia at any age cannot be shrugged off as not serious. But in middle life anemia is an ailment that can shorten your years of useful, vigorous living. If you suspect you may be anemic, go at once to your doctor or to a reliable laboratory and have a blood count taken. If a blood count reveals too few red cells and a low percentage of hemoglobin (that is, it is not red enough), then you should act at once to restore your blood to normal. How? n meals By immediately converting to (those containing lean meat, liver, kidney, heart, dark milk promeat of poultry, eggs, cheese and low-fa- t ducts. Eat generously of iron-ric- h apricots, molasses, prunes, raisins, whole grains, beets, parsley, radishes, citrus fruits and pineapple, to mention but a few foods highest in iron content. high-protei- MINERAL SUPPLEMENT As a safety measure, your doctor will probably also prescribe a mineral supplement containing organic iron to rebuild your blood as quickly as possible. As an added iron tonic which you can prepare for yourself at home, buy some unbleached apricots (usually found in health food stores). If apricots cant be had, the next best fruits are dried peaches or raisins. Put a handful of the fruit in a glass, cover with lukewarm water, stir, let stand overnight. Next morning stir the mixture again, drain off the water into another glass, adding to it one tablespoon of black molasses. Prepare and drink this iron tonic several times a week (the fruit should also be eaten).

Co. LAYTON Custom cake decorating is a talent Cynthia Gardner has developed as she raises her family of four boys. HER INTEREST in cake decorating started several years ago when she made a cake for her one year old son. The boy wouldnt show any interest in his birthday cake. This was disappointing to Cynthia and her husband, Ray. One year olds are supposed to get so excited about their first birthday cake that they will tear into it madly. Cynthia decided the problem was that the cake wasn't interesting enough to attract the child's attention. She vowed to make future birthday cakes and all cakes baked for special occasions personal and interesting. Because Cynthia has a talent for art, cake decorating comes easy for her. She has developed a decorating technique all her own. Sales Condensed from the book "Eat and Grow Younger" by Lelord Kordel. All rights reserved. Distributed by Specialty Features Syndicate.
