In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can cut the cake into half or thirds for a start and use creativity on how small you want the pieces to be. Each piece represents a block. Make them look like stacking blocks that have been dropped on the tray; they don't have to line up perfectly! Choose a different color for each cake block. Use a frosting knife to spread a thin layer of frosting to cover each block. Place the tray of blocks in the refrigerator while you prepare the marshmallows. The marshmallow halves will make up the nodes on the blocks. Make enough marshmallow halves so that the square cake pieces each get 4 halves, the big rectangles get 6, and the small rectangles get 2. Remove the cake blocks from the refrigerator. Take a marshmallow half and spread a thin layer of icing coordinated with the frosting color of the cake block you're decorating. For example, if you're working with a cake block you frosted in blue, use blue frosting on the marshmallow half. Continuing in this way, place the marshmallow halves in even rows on the cake blocks so that each block has the correct number of halves. Use the rest of the frosting to spread another layer over the cake blocks, this time covering the marshmallows as well. Continue until all of the cake blocks have been neatly frosted.
Summary: Cut the cooled cake into squares and rectangles. Arrange the cake blocks on a large tray. Frost the cake blocks. Cut each marshmallow in half. Add the marshmallow half to the blocks. Finish frosting the cake. Place the finished cake in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Finished.

Q: You don't need to become best friends, but don't be cold (the children might feel you are a threat to their mother and act out against you). Don't be afraid to ask your man about his relationship with her. What they did, but more so, why they broke up? Sometimes figuring out her quirks will help you communicate better with her. Try coordinating transportation to school during the week — maybe she can't pick them up on Thursdays, so you can offer to do it — or offering to help plan a birthday party with her. If you're helping plan an event like a birthday party, keep in mind that you are not running the show — just be there to offer your assistance. Ask if you can pick up the cake, get balloons, assist with decorating, or if there are any specific things she'd like you to do to help. Don't turn it into a power struggle. Make a point not to meet his children until you've been dating for a while and have a very strong agreement that you will have a future together. Meet in a neutral location and take the time to really get to know his children well. Don't forget that every relationship is different and his children may appreciate knowing the person that their parent is dating. You might decide to meet his children in a place where you can undertake a group activity, such as an arcade, a bowling alley, or a trampoline gym. This depends upon the ages of his children and their interests. Try to find a group activity that everyone can participate in to diffuse tension and ease discomfort. Tell his kids that you are really nervous about meeting them because you love their father. Let them know that you don't ever want to give them the impression that you are there to replace their mother. Finish the conversation by telling them that you're looking forward to getting to know them better and be open to their questions.  You might lead in with something like, “Hi, my name is _____. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you because I enjoy spending time with your dad and he always has so many nice things to say about you. Just the other day, he told me how proud he was of you for getting an A on your spelling test.” You might also say, “I want us to be friends if that’s okay with you. I know that you already have a mom and aunts and uncles and other family members who love you, so I thought that perhaps, we could be friends.” Finally, you might say, “I’m really looking forward to spending more time with you so that we can get to know each other better. How does that sound to you?” Don't be upset about this or take this to heart. You are a stranger to them. Children have thoughts and feelings all their own and at times they may act impulsively. Be sure that you think before you act, offer to get to know them in their own time, and take things in stride. Manage rejection gracefully and talk to the child with respect.
A: Have a cordial relationship with the child's mother. Decide when to meet his children. Have an honest conversation with his children. Realize that his children may dislike you initially.

Problem: Article: Any liquid dish soap will work for cleaning your shoes. Use about 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of soap so the water is sudsy but still clear. Stir the cleaning solution with a toothbrush so it’s evenly mixed.  Soap and water work best on all kinds of shoes, including white leather. If you don’t want to use dish soap, you can substitute 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of white vinegar. Dip the magic eraser into your soapy water and wring it out. Wipe in short back and forth motions along parts of your shoes made of leather, rubber, or plastic. Keep working the eraser until all scuffs and stains are removed. Magic erasers can be found in the cleaning section of your local department store. Dip the head of the toothbrush into the water so the bristles are wet. Work the bristles in small circular motions on the surface of your shoes, focusing on heavily stained areas. Use a slight amount of pressure to work the cleaning solution into the shoe’s fabric. Keep the toothbrush you use to clean out of the bathroom to avoid any confusion. Use either a cloth or paper towel to pat the soapy water and dirt off of the shoe. Avoid wiping the towel across the shoe’s fabric since you could spread the dirt across the fabric again. Don’t try to completely dry your shoes with the towel. Just lift off the excess cleaning solution from the surface. After you initially pat them with a towel, put them in a well-ventilated area in your home so they can dry completely. Leave them alone for at least 2-3 hours before wearing them again. Clean your shoes at night so you can leave them to dry overnight.
Summary:
Mix dish soap into 1  c (240 ml) of warm water. Clean the soles and rubber pieces with a magic eraser. Scrub stains with a stiff-bristled toothbrush. Pat excess water away with a towel. Let your shoes air dry.
