Go beyond store-bought marsh-mallow chicks and chocolate rabbits this year. Perfect for some-bunny special – or as a dessert to brighten any holiday table – A Tisket, A Tasket, A Cupcake Easter Basket cupcakes prove that it can be a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket.

“These cupcakes look impressive,” says Nancy Siler, vice president of consumer affairs at Wilton, “yet they require just a few easy steps. Simply bake cupcakes and use your favorite cake mix to help speed up prep time. Cool completely, place into Picket Fence Cupcake Wraps or Basket Cupcake Wraps and pipe with green-tinted icing to create grass. If piping isn’t possible, simply spatula ice the cupcakes; either way, they will impress.”

Wilton has a basketful of ideas for finishing these little cakes. Perch min-iature nest decorations filled with jelly beans on the icing grass for a playful take on a robin’s springtime roost. Or, top cupcakes with pre-made icing flowers to echo the cheery hues of spring’s first blossoms. These treats will be the perfect end to any Easter hop-pening.

rating supplies, visit www.wilton.com.

“I am the only woman in the world who has her dresses rejected by the Salvation Army”

-Phyllis Diller

The 2012 Newport Beach Film Festival (NBFF) proudly announces the World Premiere of JEWTOPIA as its Opening Night film. The red carpet screening of JEWTOPIA will take place on Thursday, April 26th, 2012 at 7:30pm at Edwards Big Newport (300 Newport Center Drive). The Opening Night gala reception will take place at Fashion Island (401 Newport Center Drive). The 13th annual NBFF will run from April 26th - May 3rd, 2012.

Inspired from the international smash hit play seen by over a mil-lion people, JEWTOPIA (2012, USA, 89 minutes) stars Ivan Sergei, Joel David Moore, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jon Lovitz, Rita Wilson, Tom Arnold, Peter Stormare, Camryn Manheim, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Wendie Malick, Nicollette Sheridan, Phil Rosenthal, Christine Lakin, Hayes MacArthur and Lin Shaye. The story is about Christian O’Connell (Sergei) and Adam Lipschitz (Moore) -- two childhood friends who reunite as adults to help each other land the women of their dreams. Chris wants to marry Allison (Hewitt), a Jew-ish girl, so that he’ll never have to make another decision for as long as he lives. Adam is on the verge of getting married to Hannah (Sigler), a woman he is not content with. When Chris enlists Adam’s help in pretending to be Jewish so that Al-lison will date him, cultures collide and chaos ensues!

JEWTOPIA is the directorial de-but of Bryan Fogel who co-wrote the screenplay, the stage play, and the best-selling book, Jewtopia: The Chosen Book for the Cho-

sen People, with Sam Wolfson. The film is pro-duced by Courtney Mizel (Tortilla Heaven), Pavlina Hatoupis (Sassypants, Frankie Goes Boom), Andy Fickman, (director of The Game Plan, Race to Witch Mountain, and the upcoming Billy Crystal / Bette Midler comedy Pa-rental Guidance), Tucker Tooley, (Immortals, The Fighter, the upcoming Mirror Mirror), and Bryan Fogel.

“It’s been an incredible journey from what started as a little show in Los Angeles. I believe the film not only captures the outrageous comedy that made the stage play so popular, it also tells the univer-sal story of cultures clashing and families getting in the way of finding true love. I’m thrilled to be having our world premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival,” stated director Bryan Fogel.

Following the screening, the Festival will host an Opening Night gala at Fashion Island presented by Fashion Island and Esquire Maga-zine. The gala will feature culinary tastings from 35 of Orange County’s premiere restaurants and a special speak-peek performance from the Tony® Award-winning musical, Mil-lion Dollar Quartet coming to the Segerstrom Center April 24 – May 6, 2012.

Tickets to the Opening Night screening and gala are $125 each and are available at www.Newport-BeachFilmFest.com starting April

1st. Patrons can also purchase tickets to the Opening Night gala for $80 each. Guests must be at least 21 years old and cocktail attire is suggested.

The Newport Beach Film Festival will showcase more than 400 films from 50 countries and host nightly special events, red carpet galas, compell ing conversations with filmmakers, international spotlight events and seminars. The Festival offers filmgoers unique opportu-nities to mingle with celebrities, filmmakers from around the globe and film industry professionals in a beautiful seaside locale.

The NBFF is sponsored in part by Absolut Vodka, Fashion Island, Regal Entertainment Group, Lexus, Los Angeles Times and the City of Newport Beach.

Passes and tickets for film screen-ings, galas and special events go on sale April 1st. To purchase tickets and for information about the New-port Beach Film Festival visit www.NewportBeachFilmFest.com

Ginni Gordon, 72 years young from Huntington Beach, was crowned Ms. Senior Orange County 2012 at the second preliminary pageant held Sat-urday, March 24, 2012 at the Norman P. Murray Community Center in Mis-sion Viejo, California. Along with first runner up Suzanne Millhollen from Rancho Santa Margarita, Gordon will now advance to the State Pageant to compete for the title of Ms. Senior California in August.

Gordon, a resident of Huntington Beach, is a retired dental hygienist/college professor who works with Parents of Teens in the area of effec-tive parenting. She performs in plays and is currently performing in We Did It For You! Women’s Journey through History; the story of how women re-ceived their rights in America, told by the women who were there. Gordon plays the part of Eleanor Roosevelt, Billie Jean King and Mary Kay Ash. For her talent portion of the pageant, Gordon performed a Polynesian hula from the 1939 era to the song, “Keep Your Eyes on the Hands”. She dances with the group “Ladies of Hula” and they’ve performed at wed-dings, the Orange County Fair and

other venues. She has four children and five grandchildren and has lived in Huntington Beach since 1988. This was Gordon’s first time ever to compete in a pageant.

Throughout the three-hour com-petition, the contestants competed in four categories including: Personal Interview, Evening Gown, Philosophy of Life and Talent. Her walk across the stage to accept the crown marked her first steps on a journey that will take her from spotlight to spotlight representing the American woman 60 years of age and up who have reached the “age of elegance”.

Second runner-up was Jo Kelly from Newport Beach, third runner-up was Marcia Herrera from Buena Park, and fourth runner-up was Madeline Hall from Fountain Valley. Hall also took home the trophy for the “Best Tal-ent” of the pageant. The 20 contes-tants who competed in the pageant came from various parts of Southern California. Under the direction of Or-ange County Pageant Director, Pam Wheeler, The Ms. Senior Orange County Pageant partnered with the City of Mission Viejo.

The Ms. Senior America Pageant is

the world’s first pageant to emphasize and give honor to women who have reached the ‘Age of Elegance’. It is a search for the lady who best exem-plifies the dignity, maturity and inner beauty of all senior Americans.

The Ms. Senior America philosophy is based upon the belief that seniors are the foundation of America, and its most valuable treasure. It is upon their knowledge, experience and re-

sources that the younger generation has the opportunity to build a better society.

Ms. Senior California of America, Inc. was established as a non-profit corporation in 2010 and is affiliated with Ms. Senior America, Inc., found-ed in 1971. The Ms. Senior California Pageant is celebrating its 25th anni-versary, and is now the largest senior pageant program in the nation.

The American Heart Association’s 2012 Orange County Go Red For Women Luncheon at the Balboa Bay Club drew 500 locals and raised more than $246,000 for the fight against heart disease – the No. 1 killer of women. The sold out event celebrated medical milestones and highlighted local heart disease and stroke survivors whose lives were saved by innovations in cardiovascular science and medicine. The Luncheon is held annually to bring Orange County women together to learn more about heart disease and empower them with the tools to live a heart-healthy life.

The half-day event included educational breakout sessions, hosted by Edwards Lifesciences and St. Joseph Hospital, and a silent auction featuring exquisite purses of all shapes, sizes, and color. Each purse came with free cardiovascular screening courtesy of St. Joseph Hospital.

Opening up the luncheon were several speakers who told their personal story about their battle with a heart related issue. They came from different backgrounds, were various ages, but all were women who had one thing in common, they were there to support the Go Red for Women campaign. Lynn-Holly Johnson, an actress who survived a stroke caused by a hole in her heart; Judy Brandt, a local HR consultant who had open-heart surgery to repair a defective heart valve last year; Loretta Beaumont, a teacher whose life has been saved by both CPR and the use of an AED (automated external defibrillator); Judy Voltmer, survivor of quintuple bypass surgery; and Victoria Collins, 2012 Honorary Chair of the Go Red For Women Luncheon and a heart disease survivor who is thriving with a pacemaker.

Bernadette Reyes, Regional Design Manager for Clark Construction, talked about her mother who died of sudden cardiac arrest. Her tearful story touched many as she related the day’s events leading up to her mother’s death. “Life is so precious” she said after losing her mom 18 months ago. Life was forever changed for her and her family so she’s making it her mission to end heart disease, challenging everyone to join the “Red Boa Feather Society”. Those who gave a donation received a feathery red boa.

Kelly Perkins, a heart transplant recipient known for her landmark accom-plishments in climbing mountains with a donor heart, was the keynote speaker. Her husband joined her on stage where they tagged team the story of her heart problems starting in 1995, their journey together climbing major peaks across the world, to her first book “The Climb of My Life; Scaling Mountains with a Borrowed Heart”.

What’s nice about this luncheon is the food that was being served went along with a heart healthy lifestyle. The first course was a Duet of Porcini Mushroom Bisque (made with chicken stock, not cream) along with a fresh salad of Arugula, provolone, sun-dried tomatoes with grilled breast of chicken on focaccia. Dessert gave guests a trio of sorbets – mango, coconut and raspberry with fresh berries and small biscotti.

Jacquin Davidson, First Vice President Business Banking Officer at First Independence Bank, chaired the event. Davidson’s father died of a heart at-tack in her arms when she was 15 years old and years later, she survived a stroke. Her team of volunteers included Lee Ann Canaday, Scharrell Jackson, Renee Mazeroll, Nella Webster, and Aimee Weisner.

Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death in women, claiming the lives of 430,000 women every year. More women die of cardiovascular diseases than the next four causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer. Go Red For Women raises awareness of heart disease in women and empowers them to take charge of their health. For information on how to get involved next year, visit www.OCGoRed.org.

An Easter Bonnet represents the tail-end of a tradition of wearing new clothes at Easter,[1] in harmony with the renewal of the year and the promise of spiritual renewal and redemption.

The “Easter bonnet” was fixed in popular culture by Irving Berlin, whose frame of reference was the Easter parade in New York City, a festive walkabout that made its way down Fifth Avenue from St. Patrick’s Cathedral:

In your Easter bonnetwith all the frills upon it,You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade.

At the depths of the Great Depression a new hat at Easter, or a refurbished old one, was a simple luxury. The self-consciously quaint “bonnet”, which had been tongue-in-cheek euphemism for a hat for more than a generation, supplied Berlin with his rhyme.

The broader English tradition of new clothes at Easter has been noticed in late 16th century refer-ences by Peter Opie, who noted Mercutio’s taunting of Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet: “Did’st thou not fall out with a Tailor for wearing his new Doublet before Easter?” At just the same time Thomas Lodge’s moralising pasmphlet Wits Miserie (London, 1596) recorded “The farmer that was contented in times past with his Russet Frocke & Mockado sleeues, now sels a Cow against Easter to buy him silken geere for his Credit”. In Samuel Pepys’ diary, 30 March (Easter Day) 1662, he notes

“Having my old black suit new furbished, I was pretty neat in clothes to-day, and my boy, his old suit new trimmed, very handsome.”

Poor Robin, an 18th-century English almanac maker, offered the doggerel:

At Easter let your clothes be new

Or else be sure you will it rue.

and the notion that ill-luck would dog the one who had not something new at Easter expanded in the 19th century.

Today the Easter bonnet is a type of hat that women and girls wear to Easter services, and in the Easter parade following it. Ladies purchased new and elaborate de-signs for particular church services, and in the case of Easter, taking the opportunity of the end of Lent to buy luxury items. Now, in a more casual society, Easter Bonnets are becoming harder to find,[8] as fewer and fewer women bother with the tradition.

Modern Easter bonnets for children are usually white wide-brimmed hats with a pastel colored satin ribbon around it and tied in a bow. It may also have flowers or other springtime motifs on top, and may match a special dress picked out for the occasion.

Until recently, it was popular in infant school to

ask a child to design an Easter-themed hat at that time of year. The aim was to get their parents to wear it to Easter services.

Looking for some Easter fun for the kids? Why not have an Easter egg hunt before Easter - or after? I have been known to break out the plastic eggs in the middle of summer and hide them in the yard for my three kids. They don’t seem to care if there are treats in the plastic eggs - they just love gathering them up.

How about a scavenger hunt? Write simple clues on slips of paper and put them into the plastic eggs. Each clue will lead to another egg. The final clue should lead to a special treat.

Instead of candy, why not stuff the eggs with coupons for special things? For example: A night out with Dad or Mom, a day of no chores, bedtime half an hour later, a sleepover at Grandma’s, get-ting to pick out a movie rental, supper at a favorite restaurant, an extra 30 minutes of television, a night at the movies, a trip to the park. Be creative - think of things your kids would really enjoy.

Let the kids decorate! Draw outlines of eggs on white paper. Let the kids color them and decorate them however they want. Cut them out and display them on a bulletin board, the wall, the windows or hang them from the ceiling (attach string to the pa-per eggs and use thumbtacks to hang the stringed eggs from the ceiling).

Most of us know the routine for dyeing eggs: Go to the store, buy the dye kit, dye the eggs. Why not try something different this year? Try natural dyes.

Use natural things (onion skins, cabbage leaves, etc.) to dye your Easter eggs. Detailed instructions can be found at http://www.dltk-kids.com/crafts/easter/natural.htm.

Make a handprint lamb magnet: Trace the outline of your child’s hand on black craft foam, cut out then glue cotton balls on the palm for the lamb’s wool. Glue a small wiggle eye on the thumb. Use purple ribbon to make a small bow then glue the bow on the lamb’s neck (where the thumb meets the palm). Stick a short length of adhesive strip magnet on the back and voila! You’ve got a lamb.

Make a cross mag-net: Use two popsicle sticks - one five-inch and one two-inch. Glue the smaller stick on top of the larger to make a cross. Make a bow out of a length of purple ribbon - glue it on top of the small stick. Stick a short length of adhesive magnet strip on the back.

Looking for Easter crafts, printa-bles, puzzles, coloring pages and other simple activities? Check out www.dltk-kids.com for plenty of fun for all ages. Other creative Easter activities can be found at www.rain-bowcastle.org.

Orange Coast College’s Cheer-leading and DanceTeams didn’t have to travel far to win the 2012 national titles. Both teams took first place at the USA Collegiat-eCheerleading and Dance National Championships at the Anaheim Convention Center March 18 & 19.

By Shaun StanertYou can tell a lot about a fellow’s

character by the way he eats jellybeans, at least according to the widely quoted logic of former USA President Ronald Reagan.

For Reagan the Jellybean was not simply an Easter indulgence. Reagan was so enamored of Jellybeans that he maintained a year-round supply in the Oval Office and a perpetual stash on air force one, displayed in a special turbulence-proof container. He even launched them into space, in 1983, when he ordered that they be stowed as a presidential surprise on the space shuttle challenger for the amusement of the astronauts.

Reagan’s conclusion about the per-sonalities of fellow jellybean aficionados may or may not prove true. Still, it ap-pears obvious that Americans have a considerable collective craving for the clever creation. These days it would hardly be Easter without jellybeans artfully hidden among the paper grass, chocolate rabbits and other goodies that presently complete the Easter Basket equation.

Nevertheless, Jellybeans are no longer just for Easter. They have shed their seasonal specific demand and are on display in stores throughout the year.

The exact origin of the Jellybean is somewhat foggy likely lost to time and a lack of permanent record keeping methods. Most historians, however, agree that in the USA they were first linked with Easter in the 1930s. That is when people began tucking them into Easter baskets likely because of their resemblance to small eggs, according the Jelly Belly Company, the manufac-turer of Reagan’s self-professed favorite brand of Jelly bean.

Eggs have long been a symbol of fertility and spring renewal associated with Easter. The Jellybean’s beguiling resemblance to small bird eggs was evident, and that along with their colorful appearance made them a natural addi-tion to Easter festivities.

The American appetite for Jellybeans seems to be ravenous and growing annually. In the USA candy makers manufacture approximately 16 Billion Jellybeans annually in anticipation of Easter. Moreover, in recent years some Grocery stores have doubled the space designated for highlighting Jellybeans near Easter time.

Categorically precise product sales figures are difficult to establish since retailers no longer routinely report checkout scanner information. Neverthe-less, based on various data, Easter is second in Holiday candy-eating events with overall sales hovering at a lofty 1.9 billion dollars in 2006, according to the

National Confectioners Association, or the NCA. Jellybeans figure prominently in that placement.

During Reagan’s presidential reign more than three tons of Jelly Belly Candy Company beans, were consumed at political events in 1981, possibly due to Reagan’s widely reported fondness for the sugary treat.

Blueberry Jellybeans are a Jelly Belly Company invention developed specifi-cally so that Reagan could serve a patri-otic mix of red white and blue jellybeans at his inaugural parties. Reagan’s favor-ite flavor was licorice and he ordered 7000 pounds for his 1981 inauguration. The CEO of Jelly Belly Company once credited Reagan’s widely publicized passion as responsible for putting their gourmet brand on the map, according to CNN’s American Morning show, aired June 9 2004.

The Turkish Delight, a Middle Eastern candy made of soft jelly, covered in confectioner’s powder, with roots dating to biblical days, inspired the Jellybean’s gummy interior.

When formulating the Jellybean the pioneering twist involved adding various new flavors and covering the jelled cen-ter with a semi-hard shell. The method for making the glaze on the outside of the Jellybean, was invented in 17th century France, and is known as panning. It is the same process prior used to make the thin sweet shell surrounding Jordan almonds.

Jellybeans first surfaced in America in 1861 when William Schrafft, a Boston confectioner, urged people to send his Jellybeans to soldiers during the Civil war.

The first recorded advertisement for jellybeans was published in the Chicago Daily News on July 5, 1905. It publicized Bulk Jellybeans sold by volume for nine cents per pound, according to the book, “The Century in Food: America’s Fads and Favorites.”

Jellybeans were initially sold in general stores as penny candy displayed in glass jars, separated by individual flavors, and scooped into paper bags after the patron handpicked their selection. Demand for the candy declined at the turn of the century. Interest in them re-energized during World War II due to a shortage of chocolate. Most chocolate was sent to soldiers overseas prompting the deficit.

For years the reigning traditional jellybean makers such as Brach’s confectioners boasted an appealing but limited range of flavors and colors. In the mid 1970s, however, gourmet jellybeans emerged when the Herman Goelitz Candy Co., Inc., now known as the Jelly Belly Candy Company, made jellybeans that were different in taste and texture.

The company’s trend-setting jellybean

transformation in-volved expand-ing the flavor op-tions by including unusual flavors such as Water-melon, Pear, or Tutti Fruiti, to name a few. The candy also looked different, a bit more delicate, more colorful and more intensely flavored than traditional beans. In addition, some beans did not have the classic clear chewy center, according to Gray Rollins of the website Your Easter.

The palate pleasing amplification in flavor and choices thrust gourmet Jel-lybeans to new heights of gastronomic popularity.

Both traditional and gourmet jel-lybeans can take between 6 and 21 days to make, according to various manufacturers. Differences in recipes give both Gourmet and traditional beans a distinctive taste. Moreover, both styles of beans have a solid share of stubbornly loyal cohorts. The gourmet beans are usually smaller and softer than the tra-ditional candy. In addition, the gourmet beans always have flavors infused into the center jell as well as the exterior shell. In contrast, the traditional Jellybeans typically have flavoring only in the shell, according to the NCA.

The life cycle of a jellybean begins when all the deliciously addictive ingre-dients needed to form the bean’s sweet chewy interior are boiled, then piped to casting trays to solidify. A few days later, the panning process begins. The beans roll in a drum while sugar is gradually added to build up the shell around the soft center. At this point colors and flavors are also introduced into the mix. Soon after, confectioners glaze gives the shell a shiny appearance. Lastly, the beans get a final polish prior to shipping.

Some innovative gourmet flavors include Cappuccino or Strawberry Cheesecake, as well as unique sport-bean varieties such as Berry Blue, a fusion of natural flavors, electrolytes, and antioxidants, and the Jelly Belly Compa-ny’s newest natural flavor, Pomegranate, fortified with vitamin C. These unusual but still somewhat conventional flavors appeal to the sophisticated palates of adults as well as anyone of any age with a demanding sweet tooth.

However, the repertoire of flavors is not constricted to the creatively conven-tional realm.

Some gourmet manufacturers have veered on a non-conformist path by daring to boldly concoct wildly offbeat flavors with repulsive sounding names

such as Vomit, Booger, Earwax and dirt to name a few. These eccentric flavors are more apt to charm an adventurous adolescent or a daredevil child rather than an adult. Indeed the Jelly Belly Company, the maker of the zany but still briskly selling flavors, touts them as “guaranteed to have your lips curl and your eyes watering.”

The flavors available for Gourmet Jel-lybeans are ever evolving, and continu-ally tested. The process is restrained only by the outer limit of the manufacturer’s imagination and the new arrival’s mar-ketability.

Promising new jellybean versions take root in a chemistry laboratory where test batches of new flavors are conjured, and mulled, based on the results of marketing studies. The batches are then examined by focus groups for taste and visual appeal, before emerging as a new shelf-ready product, according to How Products are Made, a reference book, published by Thomson-Gale.

Indeed American consumers are apparently so charmed by the mouth-watering, teeth-clinging treat that April 22 is designated National Jelly Bean Day, according to the NCA.

Other large companies making Jelly Beans are Hershey, Russell Stover, and Fannie Mae.

To satiate the curiosity of inquiring health-conscious minds, an ounce of regular jellybeans contains approximate-ly 100 calories. The calories are mainly from carbohydrates. Jellybeans contain no fat, no cholesterol, no fiber, and no protein according to the food database at Calorie King’s website.

There are about 26 jellybeans in an ounce, according to Debbie Belt president of the James River Candy Company.

In case you were wondering, 70 per-cent of children 6 to 11 years claim to prefer eating jellybeans one bean at a time, while 23 percent profess a prefer-ence for gobbling them by the handful. Slightly more boys at 29 percent said they prefer wolfing down a handful, while 18 percent of the girls admit to inelegantly eating jellybeans by loading a mouthful, according to Easter candy facts on Pear-son education’s “infoplease” website.
