When people are trying to figure out what kind of a wedding cake that they want at their wedding reception, they sometimes do some research on what their favorite celebrities have had at their weddings. There are a lot of different options available out there for wedding cakes, and even if your favorite celebrity’s cake costs forty thousand dollars to make, this doesn’t mean that an experienced wedding cake maker can’t make a cheaper copy of it for you. Some of the most popular wedding cakes out there are pretty elaborate and expensive, but don’t get discouraged by these facts; there are many great caterers out there who will be able to design a great cake for your wedding.
Donald Trump and Melania Knauss had an impressive five foot high, fifty pound, seven tiered orange and white wedding cake that had three thousand white icing roses on it. Obviously, not many people will want to be quite as elaborate as that with their wedding cake! Donald Trump was probably expected to go all out with everything in his wedding, and he has enough money to cover any costs, including his wedding cake. If you like the sound of his wedding cake though, you could probably scale it down to a regular size, and still be able to afford it.
Hip hop artists Kalis and Nas had a five tiered wedding cake that was covered in sugar roses and gilded in twenty four karat gold! There aren’t too many people out there who would want to spend that kind of money on their wedding cake, or even on their whole wedding for that matter.
Celebs Toni Braxton and Keri Lewis’ wedding cake was a popular one. They had a four tier cake that was designed to look like four Tiffany’s boxes, all painted robin’s egg blue. The store must have appreciated the celebrity endorsement.
The now split up couple, Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen had a multi flavored wedding cake that was quite popular. The cake had three layers: chocolate fudge, banana cream and white satin. This must have been appreciated by their wedding guests, because most people like at least one of those flavors. This kind of wedding cake would probably be the cheapest celebrity cake to replicate, and it would be very popular among your guests.
Leanne Rimes and Dean Sheremat’s wedding cake was a five foot, multi tiered, white chocolate and strawberry cake that was decorated with over thirty five dozen roses. This cake was a very popular and much talked about cake, and would again, not be too hard to make, as long as you cut down on the size and the amount of the roses used!
When Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro got married, they had a four tiered wedding cake that was layered with Oreo cheesecake, chocolate cake, and strawberry shortcake. It was decorated with the same crystals that Carmen had on her wedding dress.
Any of these cakes can be the inspiration for your wedding cake, as long as you don’t mind compromising on a few things to make it more affordable. However, if you can afford it, go all out and spend the money to have one if these popular wedding cakes.

Country Guitar Lessons ? Discover A Popular Way To Learn How To Play The Guitar
For years, country music has been a very popular form enjoyed by countless millions of people. Historically, there have been performers from Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, Glen Campbell, and Johnny Cash in the late 50’s and 60; to some of today’s stars: Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Leann Rimes, and Carrie Underwood. All of these musicians have thrilled fans for decades through the passion and emotion heard in their songs. Throughout history, many country legends have also been excellent guitar players. Are you the person who has always wanted to learn how to play the instrument? Interactive, online country guitar lessons today are probably the best way in which to learn how to play the instrument.
There is no easy way to learn how to play any instrument. You must be willing to put in the time and effort whether you are learning how to play the drums, cello, or trombone. Learning how to play the guitar is absolutely no exception to this rule. Besides mastering the technique required for you to improve on the guitar, it is also necessary for you to learn how to read music. Guitar is the one instrument where instead of reading notes on a music staff; (like you would on the piano, saxophone, trumpet, or violin) you must learn how to read the tabs or tablature. Chords on the guitar, (G, D, A7, etc.), are written on the tablature. This is much easier in comparison to reading the musical notes on the staves written for a Chopin Piano Etude, as example. Still, it requires dedication and practice on your part to learn how to master reading the tablature, in order for you to really excel on the guitar.
The advantages to learning how to play the guitar online should be obvious you. Even 10 years ago, if you wanted to learn how to play country guitar it would have been necessary to find an instructor in your area who worked out of a music studio. If you lived in a remote, sparsely populated area this would have presented a problem. It might have been necessary for you to travel 20-25 miles, one way, just to find a studio that provided lessons. Not all studios specialized in country music, unfortunately. You might find a teacher, but he/she might specialize in acoustic rock, or jazz guitar. You’re simply not going to learn the style and technique necessary for country guitar if the instructor was more familiar with a Jimmy Page or Jimi Hendrix. Both Page and Hendrix are all-time great rock guitarists, and are not at all associated with country guitar.
If you are serious in wanted to take lessons in country guitar, you must do your research and homework on the Internet. Find a suitable program that provides instruction in the style of country music that you are seeking. Read the recommendations, which should be posted on the site’s home page of students who have taken lessons and invested money into the online program. Pay particular attention to those testimonials stating that former students were able to learn different styles of music; particularly those students who were able to successfully learn how to play the country guitar.
Online country guitar lessons have lately been considered both practical and a popular way in which you could successfully learn how to play the instrument. You would still need to do your due diligence by completing research online before you invest your money into a program.

I have always been a life-long lover of music. I majored in music while in college, and earned both my Bachelors’ and Masters’ Degrees. Learning how to play an instrument should be something that any person would want to pursue. Whether you have an interest in learning how to play the drums, guitar, trumpet, or cello; the instrument that you choose should be a representation of your inner self. Playing an instrument has been proven to medically lower stress in the body. Playing an instrument well would improve your self-esteem. It requires dedication, effort, and desire to really excel on any instrument. It is my hope to make you aware on the importance that music can be within your life. Every person should not let the opportunity pass by, as being able to play an instrument can prove itself rewarding throughout a lifetime.
Why Are Tropical Honeymoon Destinations in the South Pacific So Very Popular Now?
As people in general become more stressed in a society that focuses so much on being financially successful, the option of opting out of it all becomes highly desirable. Just using the imagination of putting oneself on to an island with sunshine, sea breezes, tropical palms swinging in the gentle zephyrs aloft – all conjours up a scene so inviting and desirable that people are prepared to knuckle down to the demands of the system we live in and work hard to achieve things that otherwise would not be possible. So when one is getting married, a tropical honeymoon destination in the South Pacific is grabbed with both hands.
There are not many people who would not agree that this would represent a dream honeymoon, but due to the constraints of finance, it is not always possible to live the dream or to make it a reality. However there are many locations where it does not cost a fortune to have an amazing holiday – little chalets inland which are surrounded by lush tropical planting may not be the absolute beachfront location, but are often very close to the beach, and still provide a getaway which is what a honeymoon is all about. These often have very interesting aspects which make holidays in them very appealing as a tropical honeymoon destination in the South Pacific.
While there are many islands in the Pacific, most people tend to stick to the more well known ones such as Fiji, The Cook Islands, Samoa, Tonga – especially the outer islands in the northern group of Vava’u which have amazing beauty and are very unpopulated and unspoiled with clear waters of deep turquoise and where a vacation on either on a skippered or bareboat yacht is offered, not a sound to be heard when cruising under a sail into a sheltered anchorage. Truly a tropical honeymoon destination in the South Pacific that becomes amazingly appealing to those who are boat lovers and enjoy cruising.
Of course the islands do also provide a standard which is now becoming increasingly popular in latter years and that is 5 star accommodation. This is a market that is steadily growing and which people are more than happy to save up for so they can enjoy a special location for a special occasion. There are 5 star resorts in all of the main centres in the Pacific region. Increasingly popular are the self contained small boutique villa properties where a hotel standard of service is offered, but guests have the option of using not only the lagoon as their swimming spot, but also a private swimming pool in their own villa courtyard. This provides a real getaway situation for couples wanting to escape the masses when on holiday. What could provide a better option for a tropical honeymoon destination in the South Pacific paradises?
