Gold leaf

On behalf of Master Geoffry and Lady Etaine, the cake was gifted to sera Eloren for all to enjoy. Turquoise and green scaled fondant overlayed the butter cream cake to make it look as glittering dragon skin. The underbelly was coated with edible gold leaf and spun sugar wings that were sprinkled with large glittering sugar crystals. When cut, the dragon would expel a puff of smoke through its nose that shocked and amazed the guests. "I 'd also like to thank the many guilds that assisted and helped bring everything together, including the Stylists, Embinders and, Jewelers, Carpenters and Clothiers. I 'd like to especially thank Master Geoffry for all the food and Lady Etaine for the wonderful surprise of our dragon cake and their generosity of all the delicious foods." Sera Eloren would later add to her welcome speech. As the theme of the Ball was ‘Fantasy’ there were many costumes from Fairies, Princesses, Robin Hood, Pied Piper, Maid Marion and more. Howbeit, only two costumes would…

and they may even think it boring; the classics, like Charlotte’s Web, or Animal Farm, but there is a book written around that time that is quite the contrary to all these stereotypes. The Outsiders is a novel written about 50 years ago that really makes you read between the lines, the most important example of this being the outburst of poetry from Ponyboy when he and Johnny were at the church. “‘Too bad it couldn’t stay like that all the time.’ ‘Nothing gold can stay.’ I was remembering a poem…

minerals and water from the roots to the leaves (Myburg & Sederoff, 2001). Phloem is also a tubular structure but it is responsible for the translocation of sugars from the leaves to the roots and other parts. The Xylem and Phloem run through the stems of the plants in vascular bundles called veins (BBC, 2014). Off the stems leaves grow, together they are called the shoot. The primary job of leaves is to create energy for the plant. They are thin and broad, thereby maximising the surface area…

First CO2 enters leaves through the stoma via diffusion. An enzyme, known as Rubisco, will fix the CO2 to form a 3 carbon compound (Khan academy [accessed 2017]). This 3 carbon compound will eventually be converted to sugar and become maple syrup (Perkins and van den Berg 2009). Plants that follow this metabolic pathway are known as C3 plants (Khan academy [accessed 2017]). It is important to note that Rubisco prefers to fix carbon 12 over carbon 13; therefore 13CO2 is more likely to diffuse out…
