Some of the sponge flavours available for wedding cupcakes are: carrot, lemon, banana, vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon and many more.

Versatility - Because of their individual nature these cakes are very easy to transport, display and serve. They also enable guests to choose a cake flavour if yours is made up of different flavours.

Size - Cupcakes mainly come in two sizes: small which is a traditional cupcake size and large which is more of a muffin size. Couples choose to either have all the same size or both!

Cost - Choosing to have a cupcake wedding cake is an inexpensive wedding cake option, so if budget is an issue these cakes will offer you a perfect budget solution.

The only other decision you have to make is how to display your beautiful little cupcakes. The most popular way to display cupcake for a wedding is on a tiered cake stand this is often referred to as a cake tree. It enables you to create the image of a tiered wedding cake and displays these cakes off to their full beauty.

If you would like to have a traditional photograph of the bride and groom cutting the cake, have a small cake sitting on the top of the tier for this purpose.

Help For A Failing Marriage With These 4 Tips

There are innumerable couples around the world who desperately need help for a failing marriage and this trend is growing. The situations are really alarming. The family, the very basic unit of any society, any civilization, is in grave danger and is rapidly losing its importance. The problems remain same, only the places and the societies change. Providing these unlucky couple with the help for a failing marriage needs a deep study into the possible causes, which may be as many as there are mentalities. Symptoms are route to causes, let us study them first and list some most common of them.

1. Your partner does no more look like the angel he seemed during the first few months of your marriage.

2. You fight over very silly issues and your partner seems always wrong.

3. Your partner doesn’t seem to understand and even notice how badly you want to save this marriage.

Check out the causes now. Although there may be many, but let me give you the parent ones.

1. Your ego! This is really a tough guy and dies hard.

2. Intolerance. The excessive work-load, late office hours, those cunning colleagues, that ugly boss and when you return home, the demands, the complaints. Oh! They drive you crazy.

3. Your pocket! It really gets on your nerves when you want something but your pocket pulls you back.

If these are the symptoms with you too, be very careful. It is high time you try saving your relations. This is the time you want help for a failing marriage. The first advice is for both of you “Ignore your ego, not your partner!” The second one is for the Mr. X and that is “Be tolerant and leave your office at your office. Don’t bring it home.” The third one is for the Madam X which is “Let your man first relax when he is back from the office. Don’t just start throwing your demands and complaints at him at the moment he comes in. Let him breathe first.” The next one is again for both of you and you might have heard this “Cut your coat according to your cloth.” You got them? Okay, thank you then.

How To Save My Marriage Today

I need to save my marriage today, and at any cost. I am desperate. In fact, I realized it very lately that my marriage was in grave danger. And to some extent, I was the person to blame. It all triggered off with a small quarrel over a small mistake of mine. But then, my ego dropped in and I never agreed that it was my mistake, although I knew it was. Slowly, we started feeling that the person who spoke first surrenders first. As a result, our problems were never solved. Situations grew worse and worse and I always neglected it. I always thought that she will surrender some day before my ego. But that did not happen. Now that our marriage is on the verge of a death and we are living separate, I realized what a big mistake I had done.

Then, a very good friend of mine promised me that he could save my marriage today, on the condition that I had to do whatever he says. He explained to me the importance of a family as the most basic unit of any society and how a break-up would cost on the lives and future of our children. I decided to follow him. The first thing I did was to shed-off my ego and tell her that I realized my mistake and I wanted her back into my life desperately. She did not answer back. The very next day I visited her place, presented her with a nice bouquet and asked her if we could fall in love again and if she was interested to forgive a fool like me and teach me how to make this small life a beautiful one. She burst into tears and my marriage was saved.

My friends! Many of you might be facing the similar situations. If you want your marriage to survive for long, just try one thing, put aside your ego, smile broad and say, “I want to save my marriage today”.

Finding Your Soulmate - Create an Extraordinary Relationship

So you’re ready to find your ideal soulmate but this time you don’t want to leave it to chance. By giving your unconscious mind a list of things you want and absolutely do not want in a relationship you can attract your ultimate relationship to you by following a few simple steps.

1. Learn to love yourself.

You can’t give to other people what you haven’t learned to give yourself. How do you expect any one else to cherish you, love you and adore you when you do not treat yourself in this way?

All relationships start with YOU.

Write down 10 things that you love about being you.

Write down 10 of the wonderful qualities that you have.

Write down 10 things that you can do to show your appreciation for you.

2. Select the qualities you need in a relationship.

When looking for anything in life be it a person, and object, a job or a holiday you first have to decide EXACTLY what it is that you are looking for. Otherwise you will just drift, never knowing if you have found the right one or not. It’s no different when looking for your ideal partner.

How do we normally meet someone? In a bar or club, at work maybe or because they share a common interest? We just both happened to be in the same place and were both needing someone. You hit it off, have something in common and the chemistry kicks in. It’s a whirlwind of emotions, you get together…time goes by and when the chemistry fades you’re left wondering why you’re together.

By setting out our wants, needs and must-haves in a relationship in advance we run a much lesser risk of spending a long time with the wrong person. When the chemistry kicks in and common sense disappears at least you have a pre-defined list of what you want to compare this person with to know if they are really what you were looking for. It’s so important to set out what we absolutely must have (and absolutely must NOT!) in advance if we are truly to find the Mr or Miss Right for us.

* Define your Ultimate Soulmate

Who is the man/lady of your dreams? What physical attributes do they have? What height are they? What weight? What colour hair and eyes? What age are they? What do they wear and look great in?

What career do they have? What kind of income?

What hobbies and interests do they have?

Should they have kids? Should they want kids? Should they have none and want none??

What characteristics do they have? Are they funny and witty? Intelligent? More intelligent than you or less intelligent than you? Do they like to keep fit or to relax a lot? Do they play sport or the PSP?

Are they vegetarian or a red-blooded meat eater? Do they like to socialise or are they quiet shy and retiring? Are they extrovert or introvert? Life and soul of a party or a wall flower?

Who is your ideal partner.

Which of these is a MUST and which would be great to have?

* Mate from hell!

Normally I would not even go to the negatives but here, well, it is SO important to have this list to combat making a poor partner decision when the chemistry is raging. List below all of the attributes this person must no way have. What will you absolutely not stand for in a person or relationship?

This one is probably easier than the first as we usually know what we don’t want better than what we do, so go on….make that list!

For example:-

I will absolutely NOT have a person who is abusive mentally or physically. No coach potatoes. No rudeness. No-one who is foul-mouthed. Etc.

Your turn.

* Define the Ultimate Relationship

Describe now the relationship you will have with your ideal person. What will you do together? Where will you go? What goals will you share. What will people say about you as a couple. Write down everything about your ideal relationship.

3. The final step

So here it is, the final step in the journey to finding your ideal mate.

No matter where you go and what you do to find this ideal mate your past relationships and your future ones all have one thing in common.

You take YOU with you.

So - in order to succeed in love….

What kind of person would YOU have to be to attract your ideal mate?

Like attracts like. That’s the basis of rapport and rapport gives us that deeper connection. You need to become the sort of person you would like to find. Describe the values, characteristics, conduct, and habits you would need in order to deserve the mate you just described.

So, I hope that you have written down the answers to all of the questions above. When you commit to finding this ideal person and become the person you want to be with some ting magical happens and I know from my experience that this absolutely works.

I wish you every success in finding true love and hope that you will share your experiences with us too.

Make February 14th A 365 Daily Celebration

Valentine’s Day Real Cougar Style

As a woman who has seen a lot of Valentine’s come and go I say it’s time to turn this much ballyhooed commercial extravaganza into a 365 day celebration of the heart.

Women yearn for romance, understanding and tenderness and not just for one day a year when it’s the thing to do.. We really want our partner to find little ways to say how they love and appreciate us every day of the year. No matter how much some women deny how important it is to be nurtured, our hearts turn to mush when that special someone shows us how special we are.

And when it comes to sex, genuine caring and consideration is the greatest turn-on that there is. This is especially true for the Real Cougar, who is a smart, self-defined, self-sufficient woman. We don’t need or want empty, perfunctory presents thrown at us for Valentine’s Day. We want to feel that our husbands, partners or lovers have thought through what they can do to show us how much they love and honor us.

As we head into the Valentine’s Day season, here are some hints to get your man to tear himself away from the usual chocolates or roses. Use these tips to remind your baby what you want most.

Here’s a few suggestions to get you started. Now is the perfect time to start asking for what you really want.

1. Actions Speak Louder than Words. A cliche, yes, but only because it’s true. Can your beloved give you a day-or a week-off several times throughout the year? I don’t mean from the office necessarily. I mean a week off from everything you do to manage things on the home front. Women still do the lion’s share of housework, even though we work outside the home in nearly equal numbers as men. Can he make sure dinner’s taken care of for a week, the house is neat and orderly, the bills are paid, the clothes are dropped off and picked up from the cleaners? Can he say, for this week, Baby, I’m taking the heavy items off of your platter. There’s a added benefit here: if he finally understands-through direct experience-all that you manage each day-he’ll get how valuable you are.

2. But A Well-Placed Word Never Hurts. Imagine waking up every day with a beautiful, hand-written note, placed by your bedside? Or, coming back from a meeting to an email from him telling you how much-and why-he loves you? What a mid-afternoon pick-me-up!

3. Go on a Blind Date. I don’t mean go out with someone you’ve never met before. This is about having your mate take all the responsibilities that go into planning the perfect date. Let him work it all out, figure out what will make you smile, over and over again, from the top of the day to it’s final close. Let him find the out of the way, romantic enclave for a meal, a walk in the country or along the water. Let him design the whole beautiful day and then like that game we played as kids where we closed our eyes and fell back into someone’s arms, fall back into your man’s strong arms. Let him carry you, if just for a moment.

4. What’s on Your Bucket List? What are the things you always swore you’d do while you still could? Was there a city you always wanted to visit, a novel you always wanted to write? Did you want to dive off a cliff or out a plane, run the New York marathon? Whatever it was, you don’t have to wait any longer to do it! Talk about your still unrealized dreams and desires with your man and then let him help you see them through. If you always wanted to write, here’s the perfect time for him to pitch and help you find a workshop or ensure that your time is cleared for several hours a week so you can sit and the computer and chip away at the creating the next great American novelist. Let him find the perfect cliff in Mexico or Jamaica where cliff diving is safe. Let him help you. Encourage him to be step up to the plate and be your partner.

5. Don’t Underestimate the Healing Power of Sex. Romance is great and romance with great sex is even better. Too many couples are putting this time to connect the back burner. When was the last time you made love? And, did your toes curl or was it just ho hum? Getting back the knock-your-socks off excitement will do wonders for your relationship. A lot of pent up emotion can dissipate with a good roll in the hay. Talk to your man and tell him what he can do to make it wonderful for you and then return the favor. Maybe you both could try for the one-hour orgasm. Even if you can’t quite make it imagine the fun you will have trying.

Making Valentine’s Day a 365 day celebration will change your life. It’s never too late to experience the love and affection you have always dreamed of. Make this February 14 your New Year. The Year of the Real Cougar!

Money & Marriage - Can You Make Them In Harmony?

It’s a shocking fact that 70-80% of marriage problem is about money. Imagine the pain, stress and frustration people have to live by on constant arguments about money. This kind of situations will surely impact their children. As we realize, the most pleasure and heartache we experience come from relationships.

Perhaps, if one settles the money issue correctly before he/she gets married, will it lift up the biggest issue and has a better chance to make a marriage works? Yes, it might be true, but how about those who are married now without knowing the pre-requisite of financial management? Do they still have the chance to make it works? Will they stay till death or debts due them parts?

The following are seven steps to make money and marriage work in harmony:

1. Understanding each other background in terms of money.
People come from different family background and financial standing. Some are taught to be careful in spending money and have habits in saving most of their money while others view money to be source of pleasure. Spending becomes a way to gain pleasure and saving is a painful punishment. Do you know your spouse’s perspective about money? Have you communicated your views openly? Do you tell each other your family background in how your parents raise you in relation to money? Being open and understanding will allow your spouse to open up. It is a good idea to set some ground rules before this intimate communication started, such as listen to understand and avoid passing judgment.

2. Setting common financial goals.
Whether you are the only bread winner in the family or you have dual income family, it is recommended that you pull the money together and decide the percentage of how both of you will allocate for saving, investment, daily use, personal use and charity. I highly recommend that you set your financial goals both on yearly and monthly basis. When you create and strive for financial goals together it will bring you closer as a couple.

3. Giving each other freedom.
People have their preference in spending their money. Arguing buying the husband’s golf equipment is more important than wife’s sets of make-up is futile. One has his or her own needs to buy certain things so giving the freedom to spend is very important. The money you allocate for individual use is his or hers to spend each month. You don’t need to know what he/she spends it for.

This goes not only in spending but also in investing. Some people are high risk takers while others are moderate or low risk takers. Think of what is going to happen to your family if only a high risk taker invests and loses everything? Investing to different areas that suit individual risk appetites will give a balanced investment approach.

4. Learning about financial management.
Many of us are illiterate when it comes to financial management. Learning together creates a good fundamental for great money management. Many couples attend seminars, programs or read the same books that give them common understanding. Indeed, this is much more effective than leaving our spouse behind when we learn about money making tools. Incompatibility in knowledge and skills of financial management will surely create arguments.

5. Solving problems as a couple.
Yes, we are different in our background, experience, beliefs and perceptions and what we do with our differences will create excellent brainstorming session when you face problems. If you have debts to clear at this time, brainstorming with your family in how to create other streams of income and reduce expenses is a great way to get your family involved. Communicating financial problems with your family including your ten-year old child is a good educational lesson. Children must be taught how to manage money from early years.

6. Growing together as a couple.
Life is a never ending school. There are so many things to learn from. Sharing lessons learned in your investment will enrich each other and thus focusing on learning instead of regretting the mistakes made. Learning to support each other allow you to grow to better people. I believe that marriage can either make one better or bitter. The choice is yours!

7. Having common beliefs.
Couples who have strong common beliefs will have better chance to stay together happily. Do you share the common belief that you both are one including your money is one? Do you have the attitude of sharing and serving your spouse? Do you believe that no matter how bad it seems today, you will see the light at the end of the tunnel?

By applying the seven steps, we can eliminate the heartache of money problems in marriage. It is a journey that every couple has to take. It is our daily reality to manage money and nurture relationships that we need to face.

What to Do When Your Boyfriend Won’t Call You

Relationships can sometimes be something of a challenge. If you’ve been dating a guy for awhile and you’ve fallen into a predictable routine you may start to feel as though you are being taken advantage of. Many women feel this when they realize that their once attentive man, now rarely calls them anymore. As women we like to feel close to our boyfriends and for us that means being in touch often. If you are faced with a situation where he just doesn’t seem to have the drive or desire to talk as much, it can be frustrating. There are certain things you should and shouldn’t be doing when your boyfriend won’t call you.

The most important thing to remember when your boyfriend doesn’t call is to not panic. If you haven’t heard from him for several days you may immediately assume he’s decided to find himself a new girlfriend. The chances of that being the cause of his silence are minimal. There are many reasons why men don’t call their girlfriends, but simply moving on to a new relationship isn’t one of them. Put your mind to rest and stop thinking of the worst case scenarios.

Some men intentionally don’t call for a simple reason. They want to gauge your reaction. Many of us have been guilty of abusing our boyfriend’s phone number if we haven’t heard from him by the time we expected to. We call and then hang up if he doesn’t answer. When he doesn’t answer a few times a sense of rejection may set in. That pushes us to then call and leave voice mail asking him to call back as soon as possible. When your boyfriend does realize how many times you called and then listens to your pleading voice in the message you left, he’ll see you as one thing. It’s not the girlfriend who loves him so much she must hear from him. No. He’ll see you as desperate and dependent on him for affection.

If you’ve made it clear through your words and your actions that you are completely and utterly in love with your boyfriend, he may start to see you as someone who won’t ever leave him. When someone views you that way, they may start to take advantage of you. Not calling, not contacting you and ignoring you soon become acceptable because they know regardless of how much time passes before they take a moment to reach out to you, you’ll still be there waiting.

The very best approach you can take when your boyfriend won’t call you is to take his number off speed dial and go out and have fun. If he fully expects you to come searching for him, and you don’t, he’ll immediately wonder what you’re thinking. It’s also imperative that you don’t answer the minute he does call you. Let him be the one who has to leave a voice mail and take a bit to return the call. When you do finally speak with him, don’t drill him about where he’s been or why he hasn’t called. If he apologizes for not being in touch and tells you the age old excuse that he’s been busy with work, tell him it’s no problem. Briefly explain that you’ve been swamped too. End the call quickly and tell him you’ll talk soon.

It’s surprising to many women how monumental telephone calls, emails and texts are in the dynamic of their relationship. For even more effective ways to handle communication with your boyfriend, visit this helpful site.

Online Dating Mistakes In Email - 6 Reasons She Doesn’t Write You Back

Online dating mistakes are common, so don’t get discouraged. How many emails have you written to women, without responses? Probably lots. But that’s Ok, I have too! However, once you understand the main reasons WHY she doesn’t write you back, you’ll be able to ramp up your email game and start to get a lot more replies!

1. You didn’t get her attention.

She gets a TON of emails, every day. Hot women on busy sites can get easily over a hundred a day. That’s some serious competition! If you don’t get her attention fast, you’ll be forgotten instantly and she’ll move on without replying. And how do you do it? Be interesting, insightful, interested in her, and funny as hell!

2. She thinks you are shallow.

Hot women know that most guys are just contacting them because they are hot. As much as it’s an ego boost for them, knowing you think they are hot doesn’t them any real reason to write you back.

  • Don’t ask for sexier photos of her.

  • Don’t kiss her butt and tell her how hot she is over and over.

  • Don’t ask her how much she weighs… EVER.

  • Don’t ask for body shots of her (until several emails later)

3. Your photo sucks.

It doesn’t matter how great your email is, if your picture makes you look like a sack of crap, you aren’t getting a response. Before you start worrying about your looks, there are two things you need to know… First, a bad photo will make the hottest guy look ugly, second, the right photo can make you look great. One great photo will make or break your online dating results.

4. You were crass, rude, or sexual.

A lot of things can turn a girl off, but few like being crass, rude, or sexual. She’s a woman, not one of your buddies, so don’t try to get her attention by shock value. Yes, it works from time to time, but for the most part, she’ll just delete your email.

  • Don’t use any four letter words… you know the ones I mean.

  • Don’t ask her what her favorite sex position is.

  • Don’t ask her about her erotic fantasies.

  • Don’t ask if she has any nude photos.

5. You throw up her red flags.

She doesn’t want your baggage and insecurities. She definitely doesn’t want to hear you crying about them in your email. So forget even mentioning your ex, your problems, your addictions, your failures or your insecurities… Never email her more than once before she replies, you aren’t going to change her mind by looking needy.

  • Don’t email her more than once in between her replies.

  • Don’t talk about your exes.

  • Don’t talk about the bad dates you have had.

  • Don’t talk about why you think online dating sucks.

6. She’s just not that into you.

No matter what you do, some girls just aren’t going to be that into you. Maybe she only dates short dorky poor guys, maybe you remind her of her brother, you’ll probably never know.

If you present yourself in your best light, have a great photo, display your personality and value as a man… and she still doesn’t email you back? It’s her, not you.

On the other hand, if your profile isn’t polished to perfection, you don’t have the best photo you could possibly have, and you aren’t writing emails that shine like diamonds against coal… you’ve got some work to do.

Happy dating!

Are You Stuck in Divorce Indecision?

Are you stuck in divorce indecision and feeling lost, confused and as if your life is falling apart right in front of your eyes? I was there too, and not only survived the ordeal, but was stronger having lived through it.

I’ve never been accused of being overly sympathetic to those people suffering from chronic misfortunate in their lives because I believe we manifest the majority of the bad luck we encounter by our very own destructive thought patterns.

Divorce, however, is complicated because it involves two human beings and one of them is usually much more at fault than the other. The problem is, that fact really doesn’t matter because both of you are going to suffer the consequences of divorce and it’s generally the party with the “best” lawyer, and I use that term lightly, who comes out with fewer emotional and financial bruises.

If I were to have done things differently when I was making my decision on whether or not my relationship was truly over and if I should file for divorce or not, it would have been to hire a professional counselor to guide me through the transition.

I made a lot of financial mistakes because of emotions, ignorance and indecisions. A counselor will work with you one on one, really listening and evaluating everything you say in order to offer you constructive feed back and guidance. They are knowledgeable in divorce proceedings as well as possible relationship remedies you may not have been aware of.

I, myself, would still have pursued divorce but I would have tried to convince my ex-husband to use divorce mediation instead of hiring divorce attorneys. Ending a twelve year marriage was sad, but the financial devastation both myself and my ex experienced at the hands of self serving attorneys and unnecessary judicial proceedings, magnified our misery a hundred fold and shaped our barren financial landscape well into the future.

Right now I’m sure most of the people reading this article are feeling one of two ways:

One, your unhappy in your current relationship and are seriously considering whether you should stay and work things out or whether you should go ahead and call it quits.

Or Two, you have already made the decision to end your marriage and want some type of confirmation that you have made the right decision

A professional counselor can certainly help you with both of these questions, but at $75-$100 dollars per session, it certainly isn’t cheap. Throw in the fact that if you are like most couples in unhappy relationships, money is most likely what you fight about and is often the cause of your marital unhappiness, it’s likely you simply can not afford the $300-$600 per month this could end up costing you anyway.

It is difficult to put a price on happiness or to even make an accurate guess as to how much a counselor could save you in the end, but if she does nothing more than convince the two of you to seek divorce mediation, you’ll be thousands of dollars ahead in saved attorney’s fees alone. The devastating financial cost of a divorce is usually why the majority of them turn so ugly and the two parties resent each other for years to come…sometimes at the expense of your children. There is another option…
