"Hi, I'm Gail Hoffman from Livingston Beach Florida and on behalf of Expert Village I am going to make for you Baked Alaska. Okay, so our baked Alaska . we are ready to put our meringue on our Baked Alaska base. I am going to start by coating the ice cream and cake with the meringue. It is very important that you bring the meringue all the way down to the paper because if you don't it is going to slide around the top of your cake and that will not be good. You have to work kind of quickly because the ice cream keeps melting, it melts fast especially under hot lights . So if you work kind of quickly, but make sure you coat it completely. Make sure you in case the entire thing because it is creating a sort of insulation for the ice cream. When it is completely covered you are going to put it back in the freezer. You can put in the freezer for up to day and then put in the oven right before you serve it. I am going to put in at least for two hours to get it nice and chilled."
