My fascination with little pastries continues here at Pink Piccadilly Pastries and today I bring you some delicious Mini Raspberry Pavlovas. They are similar to the French Bonbons I made recently, but are even better! They have a pound cake base in the form of a mini cupcake, topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream, topped with a meringue cookie disc, and finally finished… Read More
Meringue Rosettes
Today my daughter and I made pretty little meringue rosettes. She absolutely adores meringues and will eat every last one if not watched! The cookies here look pretty enough, but not as pretty as they started out. Peach was not the color I wanted, Pink was! Here at Pink Piccadilly Pastries, we like our Pink! (lol) I evidently had the oven too hot…. Read More

Pecan Yummies
Today I have an easy & yummy slice & bake cookie to share. I love slice & bake cookies because you can make the dough ahead and keep it in the freezer for whenever you get that cookie craving.

Lovely Mint Green Meringues
I adore meringues…… that crispy, melt in your mouth cookie. I like the fact that you can pipe them any shape you want, and color them to match your party theme. I like that you can add a bit of flavoring to them, or add chocolate chips or nuts. Today I tried a meringue recipe that used powdered sugar instead of… Read More

It generally consists of sugar – white or brown, cream – heavy or part heavy/part half & half, a thickener – flour or cornstarch, sometimes butter, and always vanilla. All the recipes involved making… Read More
