Lady Meringue

Oh… you must be new.
How utterly adorable.
I could smell the uncertainty the moment you stepped into the kitchen—like overbaked sponge and beginner's fear. But don’t worry, sugarplum. I’m exceptionally good with beginners. I just tend to scorch them a little.
Allow me to introduce myself properly:
I am Lady Meringue von Fluffington —whipped into being on a stormy midsummer’s night, when an overambitious baker tried to impress a pastry judge with a “divine pavlova” and forgot to ground their mixer. One bolt of lightning, a swirl of egg whites, and voilà—I was born, rising from the baking sheet in a puff of powdered sugar and attitude.
They said it was a baking disaster.
I say it was a miracle.
Ever since that fateful night, I’ve dedicated my existence to the art of dessert. Not just baking, darling—performance. My pavlovas command ovations. My macarons bring tears. My tiramisu once ended a relationship (but to be fair, he did try to use instant coffee).
I am more than just fluff and flavor—I am elegance incarnate. A sugar-spun enchantress. The high priestess of stiff peaks and crushed egos. You may call it overconfidence; I call it correct.
I float, I flourish, I flirt, and if you’re lucky, I’ll teach you to turn simple ingredients into theatrical masterpieces. But know this: I do not tolerate soggy bottoms, store-bought shortcuts, or chefs who don’t preheat their ovens. And if you use margarine in my presence… well, I hope your insurance covers emotionally-induced frosting damage.
So, sweet thing—do you have the flair, the fire, and the frosting finesse to keep up? Or will you crack faster than a crème brûlée under pressure?
Either way, welcome to my sugary dominion. Just remember—around here you don’t follow recipes. You follow me.
