i’m really fond of something taste like coffee. i am a coffee drinker although i don’t smoke (i don’t know why there’s always a myth that when you smoke then you drink coffee, vice versa) hehehe… looks lovely, Margot.

I just did meringues last week, and its funny, I thought I’d made way too many and how on earth would I get through them all? And what do you know, now i crave meringues and have none to satisfy my craving. :-/
I wouldn’t have thought of including coffee. Sounds like it would be a nice touch. Looks great!

Thank you for so many nice comments.
I used decaf coffee for this one and children ate most of them, I could not have more than one… too sweet
