We used a basic Swiss meringue recipe to create this beautiful and impressive (yet very easy) pavlova

You don't even need any special equipment, just a little time and a good few eggs. We made Fiona Cairns' gorgeous crystalised rose petals to decorate ours, but you can use any combination of fruit, chocolate or sweets to get the look you want. Add a few drops of food colouring to transform the whole thing.
