Q: For a simpler method of presentation, lay uncut flowers with long stems across the top of the cake, or on the platter around the based. Cut wax paper or roll a thin layer of fondant to cover the part of the cake that touches the flower. One or two whole flowers will make for a modestly beautiful look.  Be sure to trim away any thorns, leaves or visible imperfections from the flower stems before situating them on the cake. Whole flowers can be used to spruce up naked or smaller cakes in a breeze. Rather than inserting flowers into the top of the cake, stick them between the layers on the outer edges of larger cakes. This will create the effect that the flowers are blooming out of the cake. Use foam dividers if you’re worried about damaging the layers or contaminating the cake. Place fresh flowers in a ring around the base, middle layers and top of the cake to create a festive border. Gently remove the petals from your flowers of choice. Be careful not to mash or tear them. Use a loose hand to sprinkle them around the base of the cake, or sparingly on top. Flower petals can give your cake an infusion of color and bohemian grace without the need to mess with soaking, cutting and arranging whole blossoms. Loose flowers petals can be picked off before serving, or eaten, provided that they belong to an edible species. Some types of flowers are safe to be actually eaten. Mix in a small amount of these flowers with fruit, candies and other confections for a dessert with bright, floral notes. Clover, marjoram and hibiscus are all common flower varieties that can make a great cake topper.  It may be better to avoid decorating with especially fragrant types of edible flowers such as roses and jasmine, as the chemicals that produce their trademark scents can easily overpower the flavors of a cake.  Use a light hand when finishing cakes with flowers that are meant to be eaten. Their petals can sometimes be dry, waxy and hard to chew and swallow in great quantities.
A: Use whole flowers. Place flowers between the cake layers. Sprinkle flower petals around the base. Mix edible flowers with fresh fruit.

Q: You’ll need to seek prompt veterinary care if your kitten’s leg is broken. Veterinary care is the only way to confirm a broken leg. It also ensures that your kitten gets proper treatment to heal the leg. Let the vet know any symptoms your kitten has and how the injury occurred. For example, say, “Snowball has been limping for a couple of days. I’m not sure how she got hurt. She limps and holds her right leg up when she walks.” Answer any questions your vet may have about the injury or your kitten. Your vet will perform an examination of your kitten. This may include further testing such as X-rays. The exam and tests help the vet figure out exactly where the break is and develop the best treatment plan. Recognize that the vet may touch or press certain points of your kitten’s leg to feel if they’re swollen, sore, warm, or out of place. The vet may also place your kitten on the ground to see it walk. Your kitten may also undergo an X-ray or have an ultrasound or MRI to detect internal damage. Your vet will suggest a course of treatment for your kitten’s broken leg. The type of treatment will depend on the break’s severity and your kitten’s overall health. Follow any instructions your vet provides for the kitten’s treatment, including giving your kitten antibiotics. Your vet may consider treating your kitten with:  A cast or splint Surgery, especially if the surrounding tissue is damaged Amputation for very severe breaks Simple breaks in one spot on your kitten’s leg or breaks that haven’t torn tissue often require immobilization with a cast or splint. Most immobilization treatments take 4-6 weeks to heal.  Observe if the vet uses a rigid cast or more secure splint on your kitten’s leg. Casts are constructed with plaster and splints may be plastic, plaster or aluminum. Ask your vet if extra padding can make your kitten more comfortable. Put a sling around the leg for up to 10 days if your kitten’s vet prescribes it. This can keep your kitten from moving and walking. Avoid getting the cast or splint wet to allow the break to heal. Leave any casts or splints in place until the vet removes them. If your kitten has a very severe break, your vet may suggest surgery. This can stabilize the bone, joints, and surrounding tissues, which will help your kitten heal properly. In especially severe breaks, amputation may be necessary.  Authorize any recommended pre-surgical tests to make sure your kitten is healthy enough for surgery. Ask the vet what type of surgery is best for your kitten. It may be using pins, wires, or screws to stabilize the leg. It may also be amputation. Follow any post-operative instructions from the vet. This includes restricting activity for 2-4 weeks, a course of antibiotics or pain medication, and having pins and screws removed.
A: Visit the vet. Undergo an examination. Follow your vet’s treatment plan. Immobilize your kitten’s leg. Consider surgery.

Q: Sometimes reading about important figures or influential people can make the subject appear unrelatable to the reader. Use your conclusion to briefly mention personal details, stories, or accounts that you mentioned throughout the biography. Bringing these personal details into the conclusion can make the subject more accessible to the reader. Discuss how they loved visiting their grandmother, or mention that their favorite place was a quiet cabin in the mountains. While reading a biography, the reader may forget that each person has had their own difficulties and personal struggles to overcome. If a subject has been greatly influenced by a personal tragedy or was fired from several jobs during their lifetime, consider mentioning that in the conclusion. The late Nelson Mandela led an influential, prominent, and successful life as a South African activist and former president. Although he earned many awards and honors, he admitted that he was not a very good student when he was trying to earn a law degree. A reader may be able to better understand that Nelson Mandela had to work hard during his life. If the subject’s hobbies, passions, or interests played an important role in their life, incorporate that into the conclusion. Perhaps reading particular books inspired them to write their own popular novel, or maybe their love for animals inspired them to work to protect endangered animals. Weave their personal interests into the conclusion by acknowledging how those interests influenced their work or life decisions.
A: Humanize the subject. Mention their challenges. Describe their hobbies or passions.

Q: Role models help others to find their passions.  If you show your excitement about sports, art, cooking, or something else, you can help others be inspired too.  Share your interests with your younger relatives.  Find ways for them to be involved.  If you love to play basketball, get your younger relatives to join you.  They may not able to play at the level you're at, but you can help to teach them the basics. If you love to bake, ask your younger relatives to help out.  Have patience that it may take them more time to learn, but they will be rewarded by helping. Take them to events where they can learn about different careers, hobbies, and cultures.  Consider things like a local food festival or craft fair in your area. Find activities that are fun but challenging.  Find things that are age appropriate.  Be confident in what you're doing with them.  Make them feel special by including them in something that you both can enjoy.   If they're under 6, find toys and activities that help them to learn basic problem-solving and creative thinking skills like building something out of wooden blocks or learning how to do basic dance steps. If they're under 12, find activities that might involve exploring the outdoors or teaching them how to build or make something using craft supplies. If they are teenagers, it may involve helping with a class project, taking them to a local art show, or volunteering together with a local non-profit. Be a friend to your younger relatives.  Don't act like you're smarter or better than them.  Make them feel at ease.  If they do something childish or mess up in some way, don't laugh at them or make them feel judged. It's better to be laughing together and finding something you both can share.  Show them silly cat videos online or other silly, age appropriate things. Take this time to remember what it was like to be their age.
A:
Inspire others with what interests you. Do activities that promote confidence and personal growth. Laugh and have fun.
