"THE WORLD'S
LEADING FINE ART
PHOTOGRAPHY 
FAIR"

AIPAD's (Association of International Photography Art Dealers) 2014 Art Fair opened to great excitement at the Park Ave. Armory (643 Park Avenue between 66th and 67th Streets.) in the heart of Manhattan's upper east side. Visitors to the fair commented on the extraordinary range of photographic works on view and the warm atmosphere the Park Avenue Armory gives to this event. 
Collectors, major museum directors, curators, art dealers, business leaders as well as celebrities and the media know this annual show represents a collection of the best-in-the-world galleries dedicated exclusively to photographic techniques. Important and rare works of art were available.
Like all New York's art fairs, AIPAD was here for one short weekend, then the unsold masterpieces were dispersed back to their homes, around the world! 

Let us now enjoy some of the photographs featured in this interesting and different art fair.

FOOD
A Simple Cake!

If you want to give a real treat of a "from-scratch" cake as a present to your family, your office or a friend, go ahead and buy the boxed cake mix, but make these substitutions. 
- Use unsalted butter instead of oil
- Use milk instead of water
&
- Add a few extra drops of vanilla. 

Voila! "I knew you were coming so I baked a cake!"

Buttercream Icing 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approximately 1 lb.)
  • 2 tablespoons milk

  • Directions


    - In large bowl, beat shortening and butter with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla.
    - Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry.
    - Gradually add milk; beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
    - For a thinner consistency, add 2 - 4 tablespoons light corn syrup, water or milk.
    - For stiffer consistency, omit butter and substitute an additional 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 teaspoon of Butter Flavoring. 
    - Keep bowl with icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use.
    (Makes about 2 cups of icing.)
