INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . Fondant is a smooth, easily molded covering used to cover the whole cake or to make cake toppers. You can make it yourself or purchase ready-made fondant to save yourself the trouble.  Some brands of fondant tear more easily than others. Fondarific, Duff, and FondX are good beginner options.  Fondant dries quickly, so keep any portions you are not currently using wrapped in plastic or in the original container. Make this as smooth as possible to prevent wrinkling or tearing the fondant, which will go over the buttercream. See the icing section for tips.  Ganache can be used instead. It may be more difficult to smooth, but will provide a more stable base. Sprinkle cornstarch or spread shortening on a clean surface to prevent the fondant from sticking, then knead it for a couple minutes or until pliable. Knead by pushing with your flat palms and heel of the hand, to avoid trapping air bubbles in the fondant. Skip this step if you purchased ready-to-use rolled fondant. Use a rolling pin to roll the fondant out to a ¼ in (6 mm) thickness. Occasionally rotate the fondant by sliding your hand underneath it to the center, to make sure it hasn't stuck to the table. If you plan on covering a circular cake with fondant, you'll need a circle as wide as your cake's diameter plus twice the cake's height. Once the fondant is rolled out, roll it around the rolling pin, then unroll it again over the cake to drape it over. Use a flat tool – or your hands if necessary – to smooth the top surface and remove air bubbles. Next, smooth out a full circle around the top of the cake's sides, to make sure the fondant is firmly attached. Smooth the rest of the sides, gradually moving around the cake, until it is fully covered. Cut off the remaining fondant with a utility knife or pizza cutter. If you are covering a cake with an unusual shape, put the fondant in the same mold you used for the cake, let it harden slightly, then place it over the cake. Large cakes may need to be covered piece by piece, then repaired as described below. You can easily make two-dimensional fondant decorations by cutting shapes out with a utility knife or scissors. Use fondant in multiple colors to make faces, animals, or any shape you like. It can also be sliced into strips and arranged to form ribbons or a spiral flower. Three-dimensional shapes can be sculpted just like clay, although fondant is best suited for small cake toppers, since it dries quickly. Fondant can tear, crack, or bulge fairly easily, especially when used to cover an entire cake. Here are a few ways to repair these imperfections:  Put a small amount of new fondant into a bowl and mix in water ¼ tsp (1 mL) at a time until you get a toothpaste consistency. Spread this with a flat spatula over cracks or dents to make them smooth, then wait for them to dry. If the fondant cracks before you've started decorating, knead in some shortening or glycerin. Hairline cracks can sometimes be smoothed out with your fingertips, or disguised with a brush of shortening. A bulge is usually an air bubble. Try pricking it with a pin, then smoothing out the fondant.

SUMMARY: Make or buy fondant Start with a smooth layer of buttercream. Knead the fondant. Roll out the fondant. Cover the cake (optional). Make fondant decorations. Repair fondant. Finished.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The management plan serves the purpose of formalizing the procedures and policies crucial to your organization and the responsibilities and authorities of everyone involved in running it. Without a plan, your operations may be inconsistent, responsibilities might be unclear, and the organization may be unprepared for certain events.  A management plan allows everyone in the organization to clearly see their place, including who they report to, who reports to them, and the responsibilities of their position. Defining roles also creates accountability by making it clear who's fault it was that something did or did not happen. Your management plan will have to contain a number of key elements. Create a simple outline, perhaps on a whiteboard or word processor, that shows the parts of your management plan so that you and your team can move through them. Your plan should include the following sections:  A description of management structure. A section detailing management members and their responsibilities and authorities. A chart of section detailing interactions between and responsibilities of each level of the organization. A section explaining different aspects of your organization being managed and the policies and procedures of that management. A schedule for updating, enhancing, and growing management and the management plan. Each organization or business has a slightly different management structure. At the start of your plan, outline clearly with words or diagrams your management structure. Identify who makes the final decisions, whether it is management, a board, or one person. Include external and internal decision-makers and consultants. If necessary, explain how decision-making is allocated to different levels of the hierarchy. Divide up all of the processes and functions being managed as part of the management plan into categories. These categories may be different departments in a large business or business processes in a small one. Common aspects of operations might include managing employees, overseeing finances, controlling inventory or supplies, marketing or public relationships, and operations (like manufacturing or sales). Split up the different aspects of your organization so that you can define management roles and procedures for each.

SUMMARY: Determine the need for a management plan. Outline your plan. Describe your management structure. List different aspects of your organization being managed under the plan.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Rejection is part of the writing process. The vast majority of poets, even well-established poets, were rejected many times throughout their career. If you receive a rejection, try not to ruminate over it.  Send out a lot of poems. Publication is, in many ways, a numbers game. While you may only get a small percentage of what you send out published, you'll gain a lot of publications if you're submitting frequently. On the day you receive a rejection, try doing something to distract yourself. Read a book, go for a bike ride, take a walk, or take a warm bath. Engage in some self care to help you mourn the loss. An agent can be great for a literary career. However, very few agents are willing to take on poets. Only the absolute best-known poets receive representation from an agent. Even some well-known poets operate independently. While you may dream of having an agent of your own, accept that an agent is not a reasonable option, especially early on in your career. Sometimes, it comes down to who you know. Even in the literary worlds, knowing an editor can help you gain an edge over the competition. Read the editorial board of various journals. If you recognize a colleague from graduate school, undergrad, or from anywhere else, get in touch. Knowing someone on the inside can help your work get read. For larger journals especially, a lot of work is read hastily or not at all. Tenacity is important if you want to be a poet. There will be many setbacks along the route to publication. Do not be discouraged. Keep submitting your poetry, despite rejection, and you will eventually find success. Tenacity takes practice. It may take quite a few rejections before you're able to bounce back with ease. See rejections as a chance to practice become strong and tenacious rather than seeing them as setbacks.

SUMMARY:
Take rejection in stride. Accept getting an agent is not always practical. Try some networking. Be tenacious.
