School holidays have started here in Western Australia and I am lucky enough to be having a 2 week break from the day job. Unfortunately for Mr 17, he is in the middle of his Year 12 mock exams, and his final exams are only a few weeks away – so no holiday for him!
Sarah celebrated the holidays by having some friends over yesterday. One of her friends has a gluten intolerance, so Sarah made up some meringues as a treat.
They are a delicious treat and perfect for parties, afternoon teas and desserts. They disappeared very quickly – I had to be fast to get a photo.
Edit: Thanks to one of our readers for advising that Cachous actually have wheat starch and wheat flour in them and are not able to be eaten by coeliacs.
We are a bit slow this week with the Weekend Baking post (I blame our holiday mode!). If you have been baking this week, we would love if you linked up a photo of your baking and the name of the recipe below.
Here is our Weekend Baking button if you would like to play along.
How I loved meringues when I was a child! I’ve never actually made them though…must jot down this recipe! I’m never quick enough to take photos of my weekend baking…must try harder!
Oh those meringues looks gorgeous! I made a strawberry pavlova yesterday which also disappeared very quickly! I wish I’d thought to take a picture!

They look yummy! Perfect for a girly gathering too 🙂 I tried your Passionfruit Lemon Butter recently – turned out wonderfully!
YUM! They look delicious. I Love the cute touch of sprinkles too!
What a fun way to spend a school break, by making these gorgeous meringues. They look so perfect, and charming with the colorful sprinkles.
forgot to mention, I bet these treats just melt in your mouth!
we had meringues regularly as children, we had chooks so plenty of eggs. My brother could eat a whole batch!
Hi Lisa!
I love meringues, but do not because mey youngest son is allergic to eggs.
I want a great and productive week for you.

Ooh, I made pretty meringues just like those not so long ago to use up the egg whites that were left over from the yolk-greedy icecream we made. Miss Six was taken with them initially but then decided she wasn’t so keen, so Hubby took them to work! Can you imagine a bunch of blue collar workers scoffing down dainty meringues?? Not only that, but they all asked to be sent more next time I had egg whites to spare! 🙂
Not only gluten free but fat free as well. These are one of my diet foods..a special treat. Although sandwiching them together with cream doesnt count.

Hello there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this web site ahead of but right after searching by way of a few of the submit I recognized it is new to me. Anyways, I’m certainly delighted I discovered it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back again often!
Cachous actually have wheat starch and wheat flour in them and are not able to be eaten by coeliacs – just a tip for the uninitiated….
