New favourites....Meringue Kisses!

These tasty little morsels were something I always wanted to try...not the giant dollops of meringue that you can buy in markets but nice little bite-size tasties that can be stored in a jar for whenever the urge for something sweet needs to be fed.

I had a look online for different ideas and flavour combinations to try.

One of my favourites for inspiration has become the Meringue Girls instagram.
Based in London they do fantastic colourful meringues.

Doesn't that look AWESOME!

And having come back from Cake International last weekend i was now stocked up with some brilliant new Foodie Flavours to try out also.

So...armed with my recipe and instructions I set about trying meringues for the first time.
I chose not to use my stand mixer and try it by hand to begin with. I wasn't able to get as stiff a mixture as I needed, but they still turned out rather yummy for a first attempt...

I also kept it simple to begin with using just a strawberry flavour with pink colouring.

So...i moved on to my next batch and started trying out some of my other flavours...

Rhubarb and Custard Flavour and Mint Flavour

Trying a few with sprinkles also

The Rhubarb flavouring and custard flavouring were my 2 random purchases from CI....but I must say I think they may have been one of my best!
These gooey meringues just make you think of the sweets I used to get as a child.

They are so easy to make....and everyone has loved them so far.
