This is a very traditional Christmas treat. Often, my mum makes them for my teachers at school, and decorates them by covering them with white fondant and adding fondant art, including stars, trees, and holly. Then, she places them on little silver cardboard trays, makes a tower of clear plastic around it, and them ties it with a ribbon on top. And if you notice, in this mixture there is alcohol. But, when alcohol is cooked, the actual alcohol disappears, yet the taste stays. And if you're still worried, I've been eating this cake since I was, like, 2. And I'm fine. At least I think I am. ;) Also, you need to start this a few days before you plan on making the actual cakes.
These meringues are a crowd-pleaser, and when I sold them at my school's mini fete, they all ran out in around 45 minutes! They are really fun to make, as they can be dyed a rainbow of colours! And, if you want, you can even make a giant meringue, fill it with whipped cream, and ta-da! You have yourself a pavlova! Just cover with cream and fruit, and some grated chocolate.
We all love that time of year, when you maybe spend time with family, get some presents from Santa, and maybe even get stalked by your family-friendly elf. Anyway, it is a time when you can explore the contents of your pantry until you have created hundreds of masterpieces.
