From Starr
County Kitchens
By Tissa Peterson
Hundreds of Starr County Youth took part in the Cooking
Division contests during the twelfth annual Starr County
Youth Fair last weekend. Every type of cookie, candy, and
ceke imaginable was entered for the competition, baked in
the ovens of Starr County young people. For many it was
their first effort, and for others their entry represented
many years of practice and trying for the award winner.
For the top winners in the cake category, their efforts were
rewarded with cash sales of their entry at the auction, with
the Grand Prize winner selling for $150.00. But for all, it was
a rewarding experience, for each received a ribbon
acknowledging their efforts and those who wanted to sell
their goodies to hungry and generous people at the Fair.
Gilda Castaneda of Rio Grande City Future FHA won
Grand Champion honors with her Summer Bridal Cake
which was sold to the First National Bank of Rio Grande
City. Anita Requenez of San Isidro FHA won the Reserve
Champion honors with her Apricot Glazed Cheesecake.
Their recipes follow.
SUMMER BRIDAL CAKE
Grand Champion
Summer-the season filled with happy wedding
celebrations is prefaced with f un to shower on the bride-to-
be. A fresh way to convey your best wishes is to preview the
wedding on a cake decorated to show off the bride's pick of
color and flowers! Here I chose the summerwedding
favorites-sunshine yellow and daisy bouquets.
To decorate the bridal party cake, make a 2 layer 14-inch
square, 9-inch 1 layer heart and 3 wonder mole cakes.
Summer Bridal Cake
Necessary Ingredients
Cake: 9 boxes of cake mixes; l'i doz. eggs; 13M>
Margarine sticks. Instructions were followed by cake mix
directions.
Frostings: 6 boxes powdered sugar; 3 boxes of whipped
icing; 6 sticks margarine; yellow and green food coloring.
Flowers: Daisies were made by using gum paste recipe.;
Gum paste; 1 T gum paste; 1 T gum tax; 1 T lemon juice; 1
pound powder sugar; Heat the first three ingredients,
gradually add powder sugar until dough is at right con-
sistency to be able to roll with rolling pin. Make ap-
proximately: 30 very small (for doll dresses); 35 small; 35
Medium; 8 very large; Make flowers 1 week before
decorating cake
Use plastic molds recommended in Wilton book. Rub out
the gum paste dough. Cut out with molds and shape with
razor blade and toothpicks. Set them on a curred flower
former lined with wax paper. This will give the size and
shape desired. Dot the flowers center with a number 4-tube
using yellow icing and sprinkling with yellow colored sugar.
To make the wedding party, use doll picks and the small
woneer molds. Ice the bridal attendants dresses and pipe
the dress and bodice with a number 23-tube. Position ap-
proximately 20 minute daisies on each skirt. For the bride
ice the skirt and bodice. Then swirl on tube number 1
cornelli lace design. Scatter daisies on skirt of the dress.
Upon finishing the bride and wedding party ice and
position the 14-inch layer square and the 9-inch 1-layer
heart.
Use the sea shell border tape number 33 for the aquare
and the base of the heart. Place the bride and the wedding
party to the desired position. Next with a toothpick, trace
curves on the square cake top and sides. Do the same for
the heart sides. Use tube number 22 for border. Outline the
too of the heart and clot it. (no tube is necessary for this).
Swirl designs of tube number 1 cornelli lace between tooth-
pick outlines. Now arrange a spray of assortes size daisies
from the top of the heart and accent the flowers with green
icing leaves using number 67-tube.

Vegetative Propagation
Trees, Shrubs
Are Energy Savers
The biggest energy saver for
your home is growing in your
backyard.
A landscape horticulturist for
the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service points out that
trees, shrubs and vines can cut
the cost of cooling and heating
your home.
"With the correct plants and
the proper placing, trees and
other greenery can become
protectors from wind, heat and
cold," says Everett Janne.
Plants can also collect the
dust that might otherwise end
up on your coffee table and can
reduce the noise level. In ad-
dition to doing all these things,
the plants provde their natural
beauty.
"A row of evergreen trees or
shrubs placed a short distance
from a wall creates a dead air
space," explains Janne. "This
space provides for warmer air
in the winter months since the
air is not moving. Less heat
escapes through the walls of
your home and reduces heating

These plants also serve as a
storm wind barrier, and if
placed correctly, can direct
cooling winds of summer
months around your home. If
planted on the northwest side of
your yard, trees and dense
shrubs can protect a home from
chilling winter winds and direct
the cool summer breezes,
emphasizes Janne.
"For the hot summertime,
trees, vines and other trailing
plants can become a pleasing
source of shade," says the
horticulturist.
"Since the hottest part of the
summer day comes with the
afternoon sun, tall trees planted
on the west side of your home
can afford some relief from the
heat."
Large trees should be placed
15 to 20 feet from your home so
that the cooling canopy can
cover the roof. Deciduous trees
provide the shade for summer
and become bare in the winter
to permit the sun to warm your
home.
"Vines or trellis plants can
provide your home with extra
cooling insulation during the hot
summer days. Deciduous vines
allow the sun to warm the home
in the winter," adds Janne.
The Colorado River, 1,450
miles long, is the longest river
west of the Rocky Mountains.
