Making my dream come true (Peach Melbas)

On Tuesday night I dreamt about making peach melbas, and so today I decided to make that dream come true.  I don't have a recipe, I just guessed, basically it's peach slices on a pastry case covered in whipped cream covered in icing.

My ingredients:

• M&S sweet pastry/tart cases
• double cream
• fondant icing sugar
• peach slices
• peach food colouring (I used yellow and orange)

Method:

1. Whip the cream with a bit of icing sugar so it was really stiff
2. Sieve the icing sugar added water (a little at a time) and coloured with food colouring and then you're ready to construct it all.
3. Lay 3 or 4 peach slices in the pastry case
4. Pipe cream over the peaches into a dome shape.
5. Spoon over the fondant icing sugar, so it drizzles down.
6. Stand back and admire
7. Eat.

The first two were pretty ugly (fugly).

1st attempt at a homemade peach melba

I ate one of them, to make sure they tasted alright, which they did.

Then I made some changes and made one last one: I made the fondant icing really really thick, I made sure the whipped cream wasn't too stiff, I didn't pipe the cream on I used a spoon instead & smoothed with a palette knife and as before I drizzled the icing on, turning the tart case as the icing covered the cream.

And the last one was perfect!

Unlike the dream I had enough ingredients for me & Mr Lisa - so that was nice :)
