I’ve been practicing making meringue cookies over the past week, and I finally present my first batch - Ekans, Koffing and Weezing to celebrate the current Team Go Rocket and takeover in Pokemon Go (and the long-awaited return of Shadow Pokemon)!

These are Italian meringue made with real strawberries and edible marker details, using @prettycakemachine‘s awesome recipe here! She’s been a huge help in coaching me through the process, giving me recommendations, tips, and encouragement, even when I learned the hard way my oven runs too hot to make non-burned meringues! (Related shout-out to my parents for letting me hijack their oven to compensate!)

Making meringues takes a lot of patience and practice, and getting the small details was a huge challenge! The meringues are maybe an inch tall on average, so it was a very small canvas to work with!

But these aren’t the only meringues I’ve been working on - let’s just say they’re very soothing, or may put you to sleep!
