Is the stick wont melts when you bake the meringue?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

Only use paper sticks. The meringues are cooked at so low a temperature that these won’t burn or catch fire. You could also use pretzel sticks and that way it would be completely edible too 😊

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

I only have a fan assisted oven that has one part to it, so I'm not sure about what you have. As long as the temperature of the oven is around 90-100oC, it will cook the meringues. What you are doing is just cooking low and slow so they don't burn or crack.

[@thuvuong5772]

Hello, you do have the link of the stick you purchased?

[@speciaelkingston9618]

Can I use this recipe as an icings on cakes.

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

You wouldn’t be able to use the soft meringue mix as icing as it’s not been cooked through and would be unsafe. If you’re after something similar, check out my Swiss meringue buttercream recipe. This uses the same kind of base but is gently cooked before whipping and then butter is slowly incorporated into it to give a silky smooth buttercream with the meringue taste.

[@lyzziemarie]

I love this! It’s fascinating how you pipe and the color is great. Will try this out since I’m a beginner and hope that it will succeed. I hope I can keep it dry and stored well. Thank you for this! Just subscribed too’

hie.is it fine to use granulated sugar or icing sugar.

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

Icing sugar wouldn’t be able to hold the structure of the meringue but I usually use granulated sugar. The mixture may be a slightly grainier as it’s not as fine as caster sugar but once baked I don’t really notice it. 😊

[@luispingol8783]

Thank you for sharing this video. May i ask if what is the best alternatice for parchment paper?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

If you have aluminium foil, that works well too. If the meringue is sticking just cook for 5-10 minutes more and watch out for cracking. Allow to cool completely (around 10 minutes) before carefully removing from the foil.

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

I'm not entirely sure of a good substitute for grease proof. I think that foil may stick to the meringues but I haven't tried it before. If you have the silicone style baking mats/sheets, these would work. The sticks need to be paper one's, as using plastic would melt in the oven, even on such a low heat.

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

@@kanna7013 Paper doesn’t ignite until around 200oC so the paper sticks are completely safe at 100oC. If you used foil, it would bake the bottoms of the meringues faster as it’s a conductor so probably not the best substitute.

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

I haven’t cooked them that high before but what you could do is make up a smaller sample batch and give it a try. The only concerns I’d have are the meringues cracking so the bake time would need to be reduced. I’d check after 30 mins and then keep checking at 5 minute intervals until done. I know that some wooden sticks are oven safe but you would have to check the packaging. You could try soaking the sticks in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning or attach them to the meringue pop once cooked with a little royal icing. Sorry I don’t have a specific answer but that is the best advice I can give. 😊

[@jobainadimalaluan7948]

Instead of baking is it still okay to freeze it?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

You can bake the meringues and then freeze them for up to a month in an airtight container or you can freeze un cooked meringue mixture for 10 months to bake after its defrosted. Just be careful when you bring it to room temp that it remains in the airtight container or it will attract moisture from the air and alter the meringue.

It all depends on the weight of your eggs. It’s not so much a recipe as it is a ratio. It’s 1 part egg white to 2 parts sugar so if you separate your eggs and you have 100g egg whites, then you’ll need 200g of sugar. 😊

Carefully try to peel away the meringue from the baking paper and if it comes away easily and leaves no stickiness, it is done. If there is resistance then pop it back in for another 5 minutes and test again. Even if they have cooled down and you try it and you find some aren’t cooked you can put them back in the oven. Just be careful though as they can go from done to burnt quite easily.

@@blue-sb4wq yes, I've seen different temperatures and times too like 85°C for 2 hours. But one person also said that you can't overbake them if the temperature isn't too high because they need to dry and not bake. Once she forgot about them and left them in the oven for 3 hours!

I’ve not had a problem with them being sticky before. Are they completely cooked through and peel away easily from the paper? They may just need 5-10 mins more to completely dry out. Just watch out, if they are browning or cracking they are over done. Also meringues love to absorb moisture so if where you are storing them is humid they will get sticky. I allow to cool on the tray for about 10 mins and then pop them into an airtight container. I hope this helps you both. 😊

You could try popping your mixture into the bag and then popping in the fridge for 30mins before piping. I’ve had leftover mix in a bag in the fridge for 24hours and it’s been fine.

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

Meringues love to suck up moisture from the air so if it’s quite humid or steamy then it will get sticky. Maybe try baking them for 10 minutes longer as this will help to dry them out a bit more - just watch out for them cracking. If you are serving them individually, maybe popping them in a cellophane bag with a little ribbon around would keep them from getting sticky. Even once you’ve baked and stored them for a few days, and they get sticky you can pop back in the oven for 10 minutes on low to dry them back out again.

100gr Egg White with how many Gram of Sugar?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

If you had 100g egg white then that would be 200g of the sugar. Just double whatever your egg white weight is 😊

[@boomanbakery]

@@LivingtheCakeLife thank you 😘

[@nandinigandla8896]

How many days can i store this, and where can i store it, i.e room temperature or frizer. At what temperature it is going to loose it's texture

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

As soon as they are cool which only takes around 10-15 minutes I would transfer them to an airtight container and they should last 1-2 weeks (They never usually last very long in my house!). Moisture is a killer for meringues so keep them away from humidity too. I usually just pop mine in a cupboard in a sealed container.

How can I make eggless meringue lollypop

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

You can use aquafaba for this recipe (the liquid from a can of chick peas) Use 6 tbsp liquid and 1/4 tsp cream of tartar and whisk as I did with the egg whites until soft peaks, gradually whisk in 100g granulated sugar and add the vanilla. Keep whipping until you get stiff peaks and then pipe onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake off at 100 degrees for 55-60 mins. Check if they are fully cooked through by gently peeling away from the paper, if still sticky check again after 5-10mins. Alllow to cool in the oven (turn it off and leave the door ajar to prevent cracking) 😊

[@surekhadippy5322]

I wana knw the temperature? Ma'am

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

100oC/212oF - the meringue pops should take 1 hour, to check if they are done, carefully peel away from the greaseproof paper. If they come away easy they are done, if they are still a little bit sticky give them 5-10 minutes more and check again.

[@ascarlen]

what size piping tips did you use?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

It is a large french tip, large open star tip and a small closed star. You can experiment with different size tips though, these are just my favourites as it adds a variety of textures 😊

[@bestsister2318]

We will nt bake this?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

It says after I finish piping. Oven 100oC/212oF for 1 hour for the meringue pops and around 45mins if you make mini meringues. Gently peel off the greaseproof paper to check if they are done, if they are still sticky, return to the oven and check at 5-10min intervals. 😊

[@Ms.Ponyang0524]

Hi! How many minutes it will bake inside the oven? And how many degree? Thank you.☺️

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

100oC/210oF for 1 hour. It does say in the video but it’s after all the piping (sorry that parts a bit long!) 😊

[@Ms.Ponyang0524]

Living the Cake Life thank you for your time and answering my question. I’m enjoying watching your videos. 😊

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

@@Ms.Ponyang0524 thank you. I’m hoping to make an updated meringue video to cover it a bit more in depth and help with when things go wrong etc but have a few more videos lined up first 😊

[@pineapplepumpkinpie]

What flavors do you use?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

Mainly vanilla but you could use any flavours you like. I did mint in my Christmas meringues and lemon works well too as it’s like a lemon meringue pie! I would just make sure that they are clear flavourings so it doesn’t effect any food colours you might want to add.

[@annajustin9832]

What’s the measure for sugar

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

It is double whatever your egg whites weigh. For example if your egg whites weigh 100g, sugar would be 200g. I also have an updated video on how to make meringue pops with a bit more explanation and detail on my channel if it helps at all 😊

[@annajustin9832]

Thankku so much for detailed information. I will try my best

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

@@annajustin9832 I hope it helps. Let me know how you get on 😊

[@miamorecakessweetsandartby2738]

Hi, how long we can use the Meringue?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

If you have it made but not baked it will be good in the fridge for 24hours. Once baked store in an airtight container and they will keep for around 2-3 weeks. Moisture is a killer for baked meringues so I usually pop a sheet of kitchen towel into my containers just to absorb any moisture.

[@saasichocolates]

@@LivingtheCakeLife They are made without baking also?

[@ramshach973]

Can anyone tell me about ingredients quantity!

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

It’s more of a ratio as you weigh your egg whites first and then double the amount of sugar. I usually do two or three egg whites and that gets me around 12 meringue pops and some smaller meringues with the leftover bits. 😊

[@T.elias1528]

Do u use oven how long?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

Yes, 100oC/212oF for 1 hour. Mini meringues will only take around 45 minutes. To check if they are done, gently try to pick them off the greaseproof paper. If they come away easily and are dry on the back they are done. If they are still a little sticky return to the oven and keep checking at 5-10 minute intervals.

[@T.elias1528]

100 or 212 oven not 350 is right?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

@@T.elias1528 your basically baking on as low as your oven can be on and baking for a long time. This dries out the meringues without cracks or breaks.

[@T.elias1528]

That what I try right now lolz I am bakery but only is problem meringue idk why

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

@@T.elias1528 is it quite hot where you are making them? Heat and humidity can be a pain for meringues. Have you tried adding a pinch of cream of tartar to you egg whites to help stabilise them? Also are they whipped to stiff peak? It can take up to 20 mins of whipping for me sometimes but the stiffer, the better they hold the shape.

[@Lovebaking783]

Thank you for sharing

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

Your welcome 😊

[@armidadelacruz2996]

Thanks for this cute and sweet video. How much sugar did you put in the mixture?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

Thank you ☺️ Its a ratio of 2:1 so if you use 100g egg white then you’ll need 200g sugar.

[@maryjanemangubat1177]

May I ask, you didn't oven it am I right? Or I just skipped it?

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

It’s near the end of the video after I piped everything. It’s 100 degrees centigrade for 1 hour for the large pops and 40-45 minutes for the smaller meringues. If they peel away easily from the baking paper they are done. If they are still sticking, return them to the oven and check again at 5 minute intervals. 😊

[@maryjanemangubat1177]

@@LivingtheCakeLife thank you. It seems like you don't put the measurements of the Sugar. Can I use Powdered Sugar because I don't have Caster Sugar. Thank you.

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

@@maryjanemangubat1177 it’s more of a ratio as the weight of egg whites will vary or how many you want to make/size of meringues etc. If you weigh them out and then double the amount of sugar it should work. Say 50g egg whites then 100g sugar. I haven’t used powdered sugar to make meringues before so I’m not sure on that one I’m afraid. I imagine it would work but they may just not whip as voluminous.

[@shifamadani2232]

Hi can can the quantity of the recipe.. how many grams sugar for 2 eggs

[@LivingtheCakeLife]

If you weigh the egg whites and the. double it for the sugar. It depends what size they are so I couldn’t even take a guess. 😊
