The National “got milk?” Milk Mustache Mobile Tour is crossing the country from March to September to help celebrate those special moments that families share around the dinner table and show moms that serving milk at dinnertime is an easy, and affordable, way to help make sure their families get the nutrition they need.
Traveling to 75 cities nationwide, the “Milk the Moment” Tour features a variety of fun and educational activities for the entire family. The tour also offers moms a chance to share how they “milk the moment” at dinnertime for a chance to win an unforgettable family dinner experience in San Francisco with Milk Mustache celebrity and chef Tyler Florence.
“Taking the time to bring the family together and setting the dinner table with lowfat milk can help moms build a strong family,” said Vivien Godfrey, CEO of the Milk Processor Education Program. “With the ‘Milk the Moment’ Tour, we’re traveling coast-to-coast to bring tips and ideas for making the most of that important time together and reinforcing why milk – with its unique combination of key vitamins and minerals – is the perfect accompaniment to any meal.”
Benefits of Family Dinner Time
Studies show that when kids eat dinner with their families, they’re more likely to have nutritious diets, healthier weights and do better in school. Research also shows that they have higher fruit, vegetable and calcium intakes than their peers.
However, many Americans are still not regularly sitting down for dinner together – and when they are, the nutrient value of the meal may be lacking, especially when it comes to what’s in their glass. In recent years, soft drinks and sugary fruit drinks have been edging out milk at mealtime, but these drinks do not provide the nutrients families need.
“Family dinnertime provides a host of emotional and health benefits,” said New England Dairy & Food Council representative, Jenny Bourbeau. “And, when milk is part of the meal, the nutritional value immediately improves, since milk is naturally nutrient-rich like no other beverage. In fact, it provides nine essential nutrients that your family might be missing.”
Milk is not only the leading food source of calcium and vitamin D, important for strong bones, it’s also a good source of high-quality protein for lean muscle and B vitamins for energy. Studies also show that moms who drink milk are more likely to have daughters that drink milk; so every glass on the table should be filled with milk. At about 25 cents a glass, milk is a simple and affordable way to deliver the nutrition your family needs – so you can savor the moments that really matter.
“Milk the Moment” To Win
The Milk Mustache Mobile “Milk the Moment” Tour has taken to America’s streets to encourage families to set the dinner table with naturally nutrient-rich milk. This year, the tour will help celebrate family dinners and invite moms to share how they make the most of time together around the table. Do your kids pour each family member a glass of milk? Or does your family do a milk toast to start off every meal? Event attendees can enter the national “Milk the Moment” contest by sharing how they “milk the moment” with their family for a chance to win a trip to San Francisco to have a family dinner with the latest Milk Mustache celebrity and chef Tyler Florence. But first, Boston is in for a treat – when the “Milk the Moment” Tour rolls into town, residents can stop by Faneuil Hall Marketplace to meet Tyler Florence himself!
Family Fun Activities
Also, as a partner of this year’s tour, the NFL and the National Dairy Council’s (NDC) Fuel Up to Play 60 program will offer Boston kids the opportunity at each event to participate in a fun, dinner-themed football toss activity that teaches kids the importance of getting enough exercise and eating right. The youth-led program empowers children and teens to take charge of their health and work with school leaders to create more opportunities for 60 minutes of daily physical activity and to make more healthy foods available. Also, residents who stop by the mobile tour have a chance to win great prizes and experience free, interactive activities including: an interactive display that puts milk head-to-head with other dinnertime beverage choices, milk samples from your local dairies: Garelick Farms, HP Hood and Nestle.

Cake decorators have been using supplies available to the craft industry for years. Craft business manufacturers have become developing more tools specific to cake decorating, opening the gate to all the more potential. Below are details on how to prepare the magnificent fondant flower. With the release of Lucks Edible Image® Designer Prints™ decorations in 2007, cake decorators began to include prints into their cake and confectionery designs in exciting new ways. Three years later on, this trend is exploding in the shape of Cake Crafting™. For complete directions visit you local Cake Decorating Supply warehouse.
To create the black and white blossom, first roll out white fondant and cut a disc approximately 3 ½” in diameter. This could be allowed to dry either curved (as on the side of a 10″ styrofoam dummy) otherwise flat and will be the bottom of the blossom. A curved disc will conform to your curve inside your 10″ round cake.
Next, roll out more rolled fondant, sufficient to apply four to six Classic Lace Designer Prints™ decorations. With three to four sizes of leaf cutters, cut sufficient petals of each size to generate a ring of each (between 20-25 of the larger sizes and 10-15 of the smaller sizes).
While still pliant, curl the base of every petal around a tapered tool of some kind, like the end of a paintbrush, or by hand. Purchasing the appropriate gumpaste tools can be a large time saver during this stage. The resultant petals will be slightly tubular at the base, resembling a small calla lily.
When the disc and petals are dry, use royal icing to connect the first (outermost) ring of petals. Use the biggest petal size and permit them to overlay the disc’s edge by about ¾”. Replicate the next two rings with successively smaller petals, leaving the middle of the circle empty. Let the royal icing dry.
When you are able to apply the blossom-before or after delivery- align the blossom on the 10″ tier evenly flanked by the horizontal ribbons (edible Black Shimmer Ribbons™ decorations used on this cake) with a thin layer of buttercream and Edible Image.. Use the empty center of the flower as a place to press the blossom downward without damaging the petals. Then fill in the middle using icing and the remaining small petals.
