DIY Wednesday: Meringue Favors

Meringues are not only pretty, but they are a cinch to make – making them a perfect wedding-day favor! These super-sweet treats are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and simply irresistible when set out on a table.

Egg whites and sugar are the only ingredients you’ll need to make meringues, and you can even add a few drops of food coloring to customize the color. Make them large, medium, or small (like we did) – whatever the size, these airy clouds of goodness will look beautiful! Click here for a simple recipe for traditional French meringues.

Once your meringues have cooled, you can store them in an airtight container and they will last for about a week.Setting up your meringue station is simple: we used a lidded glass container, a pair of mini-tongs, and glassine bags. The glass container is the perfect vessel for these treats – stack them gently inside, top with a lid, and voilá! You’ve got an eye-catching, bakery-worthy display. Guest can use the tongs to pick out the meringues from the jar and pop them into the bags. Easy, beautiful, and delicious!
