Let me preface this by saying that I really don't have much of a sweet tooth, but when I do get a hankering for it, only the best will do. Not the case with savory foods however. In that regard, I can eat just about anything.
But back to sweets.
Usually, birthdays are associated with cakes, cupcakes, ice cream, cookies, punch, and even candy or chocolate. Sheesh, I already have a toothache just talking about it.
With my birthday celebration, I knew I wanted to implement that tradition of presenting something sweet and sugary, but wanted it to be just a tad different from the norm.
Thanks to Yelp, I found this little gem!
I called and was immediately sent a quote by email. I was given the 5 flavors of the day which consisted of:
1. Strawberry
2. Chocolate Hazelnut
3. Chocolate Mint
4. Ginger honeycomb
5. Mango coconut
Being the indecisive person that I am, I ordered 10 of each.
The transaction was very simple. Since the meringues are made to order, they do ask for payment upfront. Price ranges are listed on their website. They'll send you an invoice by email and you can pay online before pick-up. They do ask that you give them a 48 hour notice.
Needless to say, these delicate puffs were gobbled right up. Although light and airy, these meringues are seriously packed full of flavor. I was highly impressed by the quality of ingredients and the playful display.
I'm definitely now a fan of The Grand Meringue and wouldn't hesitate to order from them again. read more
