No birthday cake for Obama as Secret Service steps inAugust 5, 2010, 1:29pm WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama said Wednesday his security staff put the kibosh on a birthday cake that was to be offered by union leaders for his 49th birthday.

AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka had offered the US head of state birthday wishes and said the powerful labor group wanted to provide a cake for...

When your father is a former U.S. President and your mother is the Secretary of State, having your wedding reception in the local pub isn’t an option. Chelsea Clinton’s big day in a country mansion on Saturday could cost up to £3.2million.

Tents costing £400,000 have been set up, £70,000 is going on tables and crockery and a staggering £320,000 is being spent on flowers, thought to be Casablanca lillies and orchids. Miss Clinton’s dress, designed by Oscar de la Renta or Vera Wang, is rumoured to be a cool £16,000, and the jewellery she wears on the day is worth £160,000. The cake alone will cost £7,000 and security a further £130,000. Estimates put the cost at between £1.9million and £3.2million, far more than most celebrity weddings. When Liza Minnelli and David Gest tied the knot, it cost £1.6million, while Tom...

Obama's Ugly Birthday Cake

Who let this out of the kitchen?To those who say there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans I have another item to add to the million already compiled. A Republican First Lady would never order such a hideous, comical birthday cake to celebrate her husband's birthday. The Obama's were supposed to be the new "glam" power couple in the White House But with Michelle dressing in something that looks like it came out her daughters' art class when she visited Westminster Abbey in London I guess we shouldn't be too surprised at this: "44?" He's the 44th President but...

Stylish Prez, Hideous Birthday Cake

This tacky monstrosity can't belong to Obama, can it? Maybe this is just wild conjecture here -- and we all know how much everyone loves opinions in Serious Journalism -- but isn't Barack Obama's birthday cake hideously ugly? This is not at all in line with Obama's sleek, skinny-tie persona, and frankly, we're shocked. It looks like the Cake Boss's disgruntled ex karate-chopped the frosting bag. Decorated with the presidential seal, the layer cake also is accompanied by various pies, including pecan, huckleberry, Key lime and coconut cream, plus a cheesecake. How'd this happen? Michelle wears $540 Lanvin sneakers to...

FORT LAUDERDALE — On a typical Saturday, Elite Cake Creations delivers 18 wedding cakes from Miami to Palm Beach. But it recently added a novelty to its traditional line: divorce cakes. No milestone should go unnoticed — even divorces, said Beatriz Otero, who co-owns the Pembroke Pines, bakery with her brother, Jorge Garcia. Divorce cakes look and taste like wedding cakes, but the cake-top depicts scenes of domestic discord, not bliss. A heart-shaped cake broken in pieces features a groom standing on one piece, the bride on another. A cake made to look like the blackened walls of a prison...

EASTON, Pa. – A supermarket is defending itself for refusing to a write out 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell's name on his birthday cake. Deborah Campbell, 25, of nearby Hunterdon County, N.J., said she phoned in her order last week to the Greenwich ShopRite. When she told the bakery department she wanted her son's name spelled out, she was told to talk to a supervisor, who denied the request. Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman, said the store denied similar requests from the Campbells the last two years, including a request for a swastika. "We reserve the right not to print anything...

Obama Tries To Have His Cake And Eat It, Too

I just finished reading Obama's speech and he is pretty clearly trying to have it both ways on Jeremiah Wright. First of all, after condemning Wright's unpatriotic and racist comments of late, which quite frankly, aren't all that surprising given that he has a history of making similar comments, Obama goes on to say: Given my background, my politics, and my professed values and ideals, there will no doubt be those for whom my statements of condemnation are not enough. Why associate myself with Reverend Wright in the first place, they may ask? Why not join another church? And I...

I'm (apparently) one of the few people in North America who actually LIKES commercially prepared fruit cake. (Tastes good AND "adds bulk" to diet.) I found a whole tin on sale today and bought it before sanity could set in. Very tasty, but way too much for one person ! Is it possible to freeze portions of standard over-the-counter fruit cakes ? ps: NO. I do NOT want your surplus fruit cakes !!

Obesity is more dangerous than smoking and will dramatically shorten the lives of millions, a landmark study has found. While smoking reduces life by an average of ten years, the research says being seriously overweight can cut life expectancy by as much as 13 years. The Foresight report, written by 250 leading scientists, says Britain's obesity crisis is so severe that it would take at least 30 years to reverse. If current trends continue, by 2050 about 60 per cent of men, 50 per cent of women and 25 per cent of children in the UK will be clinically obese...

A local woman thought getting a cake decorated would be simple. However, she ran into some problems she didn't expect, when she approached different bakeries. Connie Ansley is part of the Daughters of the Confederacy. She wanted a cake with the Confederate emblem on it, for the opening of a new memorial museum. Ansley says several big chain stores refused to decorate a cake with a confederate flag on it. They told her it was because of the emblem, which some consider a symbol of racism and slavery. "It's a constant battle we fight every day to keep our heritage,"...
