Lindsey Sneider- Week Two


The posting I read this week was a post titled “The Wedding Cake meets the Heat”.  The author’s claim to knowledge was regarding a wedding event and what to do under unruly circumstances. The target audience is anyone who is interested in doing events, and or anyone who is interested in hearing a wedding story of what can go wrong. The author explains the elements of the day: a 97-degree summer day and the chef was slaving over the grill. After the main course came dessert, and of course the bride and groom needed to have their perfect cake to cut together as tradition tells us. Unfortunately, they had chosen possibly one of the worst choices when it comes to a cake to survive they weather they were in: buttercream fruit filled cake.  The workers improvised and did they best they could with what they had. Thankfully, the bride and groom were good sports and were understanding.  Chris the blogger says, “Sometimes your best efforts are not 100% successful, but the show must go on.” What I took from this article was that were all humans, which means there is always going to be error, its inevitable but what makes us successful is being able to work with what hand you are dealt.


The blog I read this week on DoubleTree hotel by Hilton was regarding the announcement that Hilton Worldwide had signed a franchise agreement with Municipal Annex Limited. Liverpool, United Kingdom will open its first DoubleTree by Hilton. Additional locations in Europe that have recently been opened are in Leeds, Manchester, and London. The writer says that these properties are joining the “rapidly growing portfolio of upscale, full service hotels”. This blog is targeted towards travelers are tourist and are interested in new properties. This also targets people who like the DoubleTree by Hilton chain and would stay there for that reason solely. This information is relevant because it is the hotel that I am researching for my project.http://news.doubletree.com/index.cfm/newsroom/category/region/EU
