Slaking Other People's Thirst Can be Profitable

Slaking one's thirst is a common enough human need. When you set up a cold drink vending machines in London, you do more than ensure a constant flow of cash into your till. During a stressful day people want to be refreshed with cold drinks. If you are looking to offer great tasting soft drinks, you need not overlook healthier options, ranging from flavored Drench Water to Fruit Shoot and J2O, amongst others. Whether your cold drink vending machine is required for businesses, councils, leisure centers or schools, you must stock it with products which are appropriate for the location. In all this, you must not forget to offer water - both still and sparkling - since that is the most sought after cold drink.

The biggest advantage of investing in a cold drink vending machine is that this is one of the few industries which does face any major seasonal shifts. The vending industry is one of the most rapidly expanding business markets and the world's largest all-cash business - the cold drink vending business even more so. Some ideal locations are hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfasts, elementary, middle, high schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, military bases, fairs parks, and other attractions. In the early days of the soft drink vending machines in UK, they were peppered with only sodas and the products of the soft drink giants like Coca Cola, Pepsi and Britvic.

Nowadays vendors are looking at other options too to be able to cater to changing tastes. They are not afraid of experimenting with new launches, especially if these are healthy options like cold green teas. This is why fruit juices and smoothies are being increasingly offered from these machines. Some of the soda bottling companies provides the soft drink vending machine for free. Of course, these are meant for exclusive use of their products in the machine. When you buy directly from the company, you will receive a commission from the sale of their products. You should take advantage of the sales which are offered from the different wholesalers to earn a higher profit margin on the various soft drinks you stock.

Cake Detective - Wedding Cake Frosting from 1945

1945 Wedding Cake - How is this frosting made?
How do you make this icing?

Attention Cake Detectives:
We need your help!

I received an email from Phoebe, granddaughter of this totally cute couple. She wants to replicate this unusual frosting at her grandparents 65th wedding anniversary in a few weeks. (Yes, 65 years together. Wow!)

Do you know how this is done? Here are some facts about this 1945 (I did the math for you) cake from Phoebe's email (information from her grandmother):

Main thing - The cake was frosted right before it was cut! (Yes, this wasn't Ace of Cakes. They didn't need a week and pounds of fondant...they had minutes.)

Grandma says, "The icing was cooked up on the stove and then poured over top of the 3 tiered cake shortly before the cake cutting."

1945 Wedding Cake - How is this frosting made?

"My grandmother claims it was very runny when it was poured out of the pan but cooled & hardened quickly. The flavor was closer to a boiled icing than a buttercream. In pictures it looks like a drip castle or a fluffy waterfall. The icing has a kind of dull shine to it like meringue."

Phoebe says for their 50th anniversary they tried to get a caterer to attempt it but the caterer refused & just piped a sort of drippy waterfall design on with buttercream. Let's not let that happen again.

This may not be relevant but one side of the family is very German & most of their favorite baked goods are traditional German ones. Perhaps this is from a German bakery? Also, the wedding took place in suburban Philadelphia in the fall of 1945.

So, interwebs. Have you seen this cake before?! And more importantly, how is it made? Does YOUR grandmother or mother have this cake in the wedding album? Let's make sure Phoebe's Grandpa and Grandma enjoy this cake again! Thanks!
