  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!

• L Lilo · May 12, 2006

  ah là là tu m'épates encore ! ce dessert est magnifique :)

• B Béa · May 12, 2006

  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!
