Chocolate Pavlovas with Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse & Preserved Stone Fruit

It lies rather in the satisfaction of accomplishment.” Anna Pavlova The June 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Dawn of Doable and Delicious.

WRAP ON 2007…the year that whooshed by!
“We have so much time and so little to do.
