Garnish Your Childs Cake With Licensed Characters: Sesame Street

Here is a word of recommendation before designing your cake. Ensure that the characters that you’re using to brighten the cake are licensed for usage on cakes and approved to come in contact with foodstuff. Appropriate figures may be purchased at cake decorating supply stores that sell Edible Image® designs and Satin Ice Rolled Fondant.

What exactly is Sesame Street? Sesame Street is an American educational children’s TV series for pre-schoolers and is a pioneer of the contemporary educational standard. Sesame Street combines both education and entertainment. Sesame Street is renowned for its Muppet characters, created from the late Jim Henson. As of 2009, over 5000 episodes of the show have been created in 40 seasons. Sesame Street is one of the longest running Television shows in history. As a result of its positive influence, Sesame Street is among the most highly regarded educational shows for children in the world. The series has received over 110 Emmy Awards, a lot more than any other television series. An estimated 76 million Americans have watched the series as children, and millions more have watched across the world.

Sesame Street cakes can be decorated with many different themes. The Edible Image® Decoration features an ideal picture of Elmo. Edible Image® is mostly a decal like edible material that may be placed directly onto the cake. The Edible Image® melds into the cake. Cake kits are cake decorating kits premade with all the characters of that individual kit included. This way you don’t have to buy all the components separately. The CK-198 Cake Kit is the most popular Sesame Street item sold. Big Bird is driving a ruby fire engine, while Elmo is in a navy car, that is being towed by Big Bird! The preferred summer kit is one where Elmo is driving a yellow speedboat.

Pop Tops® are flat plastic shaped shapes use to decorate cakes and also Elmo one can be described as favorite. The Pop Top® are rather large at 5″ view. A Sesame Street Candle which is 2 ½” tall can also be used to adorn your cake. Individual number candles are also being sold. Numbers 1,2,3 have the Elmo figure, while candle number 4 has the Cookie Monster.

The remaining items a cake decorator would use to complete the sweets for this party are either cupcake picks or rings. There are a variety of food safe cupcake picks and rings which are available. These are all about 1 ¾” in size. The newest pick that I’ve seen is known as a spinner pick. The pick itself at 3″ round is larger than normal picks, this is to allow the inside picture portion room to spin.

New Barbie Doll Insults People?

A massive Barbie online poll has finished and the results of the new look Barbie is in, News Anchor Barbie and of course Computer Engineer Barbie. However is this a good thing or just another stupid idea to get people to buy the doll?

The same goes for every other career that Barbie has been seen in, when have you ever seen a computer engineer that talks and looks like that. Barbie is a dumb blonde, although Mattel have tried to prove otherwise she still is and could she actually carry out the tasks that an computer engineer does, no. This isn’t to say that they cannot do it but on the whole you do not expect it. It is also very insulting to the women that already work in the business.

Every little girl that buys the doll is now going to think that women in the industry talk and look like this. One of the comments was “This is insulting, Barbie already creates unrealistic expectations of what a girl should be”. The last time I checked geeks were not into the superficiality of Barbie so how is it that this geeky doll received so many votes? In my own personal opinion I do think that this is a good idea at all, when was the last time you saw a woman in the IT business wearing very poor pink Designer Glasses.

On the other hand I can see why having a Barbie like this will make children think that being a “Geek” is actually not a bad thing at all. Perhaps there will be less bullying in the playground because of this doll.

All in all I think that this doll has just outraged the women working in the industry more than anything, who wants to see Barbie in another pair of Cheap Glasses anyway? Barbie should stick to her Prada Glasses and stop getting in on the industries that do not want her. Why does Barbie not just stick to doing what she does best, driving a pink sports car with Ken next to her!
