Directions

Place a piece of plain yellow cake in the bottom of each flower pot to cover the hole in the bottom.

Add ice cream or sherbet to pots until three-quarters full.

In the middle of each pot, force a large ice cream soda straw and cut off even with top of the pot.

Pile meringue around the inside of the pot, leaving s over the soda straw open.

Bake at 400 degrees until the meringue turn brown, (about 5 minutes).

Insert fresh flowers in the soda straw.

For a holiday look, use holly and red roses or carnations.

For the Meringue: Beat the egg whites until foamy before slowly adding the sugar, beat well after each addition.

Beat until shiny and stiff, but not dry.

Fold in vanilla.
