Last day cooking for American Cusine Project

On Tuesday I made Baked Alaska. I didn't realise how little work was required to make such a nice dessert! I made the sponge base, allowed it to cool, made the meringue and then all that was left to do was slice up the icecream and pour over the meringue! I forgot to beat the egg whites on their own before adding the sugar, so the meringue wasn't as big as I needed it to be! With the help of Niamh Mc I put it on anyway, but not all of the icecream was covered (the meringue mixture was too hard for some people to resist! :P) So when I put it in the oven, the icecream began to melt! When I took it out it looked really cool, the sugar had gone golden brown and the meringue had grown. As the icecream was melting fast, I brought it up to the lunch room where everyone was more than happy to help eat it! :)
