Ghost Meringues

George loves all things monsters, ghosts and ghoulies at the moment and we had fun making these 'ghost meringues'.  Amazing the recent change in george that he now has so much more concentration and precision for these activites ... even seperating egg yolks and whites. Idea was taken from George's Scooby Doo magazine!

Nudity a necessity for george right now
