Baked Alaska

We got a request for Baked Alaska for a couple's anniversary last week. Our pastry chef complained that she didn't have time for it, so I got to make it. I had some problems with the meringue, but overall it turned out well. The anniversary couple raved over it. Yay!



It has a basic genoise cake brushed with orange simple syrup as a base, and is filled with chocolate Jack Daniels ice cream and covered with Italian meringue. It was pretty tasty.
