Shelly, this looks absolutely wonderful, although I don't know how it could be any better than the Pavlova you and Hannah made for Nina's birthday. You are so kind. Seriously, your next post should be on the Pavlova. I hope you took a picture because there's none of ours, I mean Nina's, left!

We are so glad that you liked the Pavlova. You & Nina are so special to us. We wanted something that would be good for you to eat also. Pavlova is one of our very favorite and we only have it in the summer with the abundance of the berries available. I plan to post it an day. Thank you so much for your comment!
