For more information about medieval subtleties see here
L11 had a few different ideas for subtleties (small favours served between courses). She has already made some marzipan ‘War of the Roses’ roses subtleties, now it was meringue swans.
First she whipped up some egg whites and caster sugar and piped the meringues onto her design of swan heads and swan wings:


After they had cooked and cooled she put the individual parts together using whipped cream as a glue:




Well done, L11, I think you’re doing a great job!
I’m looking forward to sampling those delights. Good job
Thanks Daddy!
Looks very appetising!
I tasted it, it was lovely!
Yes, she is doing a good job. At least you get to try them, Gary…think of all of us that see them, but can’t taste them. LOL
LOL! I’ll send you some!
Wow! That’s pretty neat. I’m a medievalist at heart, so I am enjoying seeing the things you guys are coming up with. A very creative way to study this time period.
Thank you Dana, that’s a lovely thing to say!
Fantastic job! They do look delicious!
They really were!
She did great! That took a lot of patience.
She just loves to be in the kitchen. It is never a chore.
Okay, when I saw this on pinterest I should of known it was you! I’m SOOOOO glad you link up on Finishing strong because I really enjoy your posts and your creativity. As a not so creative Mama you provide me with great many ideas!!! Blessings, Kyle
Aw, thank you so much, what a lovely comment!
We are looking forward to your post and pictures of the feast!!!
I’m looking forward to eating it! We’re having a goose!
L did a most excellent job on her swans. And I agree, sad for those of us who can only admire from a blog post. You will have to tell us how scrumptious they are when you have your feast.
Fantastic!
We tried them and they were really good. The meringues were toffee inside, so good with the cream and the coulis!
What a talented girl you have!
Thank you Joey!
Wow, these are fabulous!
Thank you!
