Mon île blanche et verte - My White and Green Island
I decided that I was going to take you on my island.
-
Green,
White,
Not too big,
Not too small,
But surely sweet it is,
Do you know this island?
The story of this island is yet to come.

Bea,
I know it’s not but it looks like a giant marshmallow with spun sugar on top - that would be sweet indeed!
Delightful shot!

I bought the recent issue of Martha Stewart Living too! The cover was too gorgeous. I remember thinking, “Who would actually make the spun sugar crown for that floating island??” =) You’re awesome Bea!

Bea, cream of tartar is just a white powder that you put into your egg whites as you’re whipping them to help stabilize the whipped mixtures. Obviously, you do just fine without =). My mom and I use it when we’re whipping our egg whites when we make lemon chiffon cake. The pale greens and whites on the cover of Living was so attractive!
Comment by Jen — On May, 11th, 2006 at 9:49 pm
ah là là tu m’épates encore ! ce dessert est magnifique
Comment by Lilo — On May, 12th, 2006 at 1:45 pm
Thanks Jen. I would be curious to try with cream of tartar to see if it makes a difference now! Although it is true, the outcome of the egg meringue was good as is.
Lilo, ah merci, tu es trop gentille!
