I had a few bad days leading up to this proud moment. Included in those bad days was a Pavlova fail moment, apparently if the egg whites get anything in it they wont whip, and so I discovered after 40mins of whipping and a electronic hand whisk that was about to blow up in my hand that something must have gotten in with the egg whites. (Side note - What did women do back in the day without electronic whisks? it would have taken forever. Mum, can you enlighten us? Jokes man jokes, she isn't that old)After a FAB date with my hubby last night, today I was feeling pretty positive and Voila, Second attempt brought me sweet success.
Whoop whoop. Thing is I am not even a big Pavlova eater so I might not even do this again, I just needed to try it so I can claim to be able to bake a kiwi classic, and start my goal for 2011 with a bang, and that is to be more adventurous in the kitchen.
Check out the photos, I wanted to get a photo of me holding the bowl upside down, Mum taught me that you know it is whipped when you can turn it upside down and have it stay put, but being home alone made that almost impossible.
Niiiiiiiiiiccccccceeeeee
Gracie thought I was taking photos of her and was laughing in the backgroundPerfect!

Cute girl.
Well done Jess!! Looks like a great pav, crispy on the outside, no doubt marshmallowy on the inside! My first pav was a failure. It tasted nice, but I spread it out too thin and it looked ridiculous. It got nicknamed a pav-cake (like pancake ; ) Anyway it was still yum and i just piled the cream high ha ha. Another pav tip for good whipping, use room temperature eggs : )
Looks awesome Jessie, you're well on your way to 'domestic goddess' status!
Well done Jessie!!! It looks fab for 2nd attempt!!! Good on you - your brave! I think I will just stick to making my caramel slice and leave the pavs to you! ha ha
Your pav looks amazing Jessie. Pavlova is one of my favourite desserts but I have never made one -Crystal is the pav queen in our family.
