 When you open the new Brides Magazine you will find that one of America's Most Beautiful Wedding Cakes comes from Lansing sugar artist Marion Cardwell Ferrer. Ferrer, who owns Sincredible Pasteries, based her design on a vintage table cloth and traditional themes. "The something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue theme went with the vintage idea," Ferrer says. "The nest was for a new beginning in their home, the pearls were borrowed, the blue birds and a vintage mercury-glass texture was blue, and the vintage style was old."
This is the third time Ferrer has been featured in Brides Magazine. The first was in a 2003 article featuring MacKenzie-Childs called 'Small Town Wedding.' In 2006 she was featured again when the magazine published its 'Cake Walk' article featuring 60 cakes. The newest feature presents 50 wedding cakes from sugar artists across the United States. The cakes are featured on the magazine's Web site, and brides, grooms, wedding guests, or wedding professionals are encouraged to vote. The winner will receive the winning cake for his or her wedding.

Dear IMO,
My grandfather is in a nursing home on Long Island. We are going down for a visit next weekend, and will spend quite a lot of time with him. He is physically very weak, but his mind is sharp. During our visits, he loves to reminisce about his younger years, especially his service in the Marine Corps during World War II. He lied about his age and got in when he was just 16. Do you think it’s appropriate to record some of his stories? I think it’s important that we preserve some of his stories? Is this ethical? What about a video?
Thanks,
Mike
Dear Mike,
Yes. Yes. Yes. It is your obligation to your grandfather, your family, and for all of society to record his stories. You have discovered a real treasury of oral history, and you ought to preserve as much of it as possible. Your grandfather, like so many of his generation, is getting older every day, and the longer you wait, the more likely his stories may never be written down.

The Friday before Presidents Day break was 'Dare To Wear Pink' day at Lansing Middle School. The brainchild of student council members Erin Trowbridge and Paige Nichols, the event encouraged students to donate money to be used for breast cancer research. Student council members collected money in the cafeteria the preceding week, and donors received a pink ribbon and the right to wear pink on that Friday. The event raised $700 which is being donated to help fund breast cancer research. The grade level that raised the most money also won pink candy.
