Sophie and I had a blast yesterday making our merengue ghosts! They turned out so sweetly, I decided to showcase one in one of Lauren’s new Timeless Templates! Lauren has done such an incredible job with these templates and they can be yours for such an incredibly cheap price…printable and SO fast (plus you get never-before-seen projects from the girls on the PTI team with full color pics and supplies! Gotta love that! Well…here is ANOTHER idea! I just love everything about this! John said it was his favorite project from me so far! I think he was almost in tears! (Just kidding…but maybe he should have been;) ) I mean how perfect would this be for teachers this week on Friday! How fun! I am going to leave you with my merengue recipe so you can do this as well! Go make them…you already have all of the ingredients! Your kids will be thrilled!
Merengue Recipe:
4 egg whites in mixing bowl add 1tsp. Cream of Tartar
Beat until stiff peaks form
While beating, slowly add between 3/4 cups and 1 cup of sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
Fill piping bag with merengue (or ziplock bag with bottom corner snipped off) pick favorite piping bag tip.
Pipe on brown paper grocery bag or parchment paper in concentric circles making sure when you get to the top to add a little ghost flip for the top!
Add mini chocolate chips for the eyes
put paper in the oven and bake at 250 degrees for two hours at least. You are essentially just “drying out” the meregue, not baking it per se.
SUPPLIES:
Template: My Timeless Templates “For Keep{sake}”
Stamps: Spooky Sweets, Spooky Sweets II
Paper: Plum Pudding, Pumpkin SU!, Transparency
Ink: Noir Palette
Ribbon: Plum Pudding Stitched Grosgrain
Other: Buttons, Linen Thread SU!
EDITED TO ADD:
After viewing my blog on my work computer and my laptop, I have noticed that some things or all things in my sidebar have disappeared. Don’t panic! I am having some work done on my blog that is very exciting and will be revealed soon! Thanks for your patience if some thing are not showing up or have gotten a little shuffled!
Oh my goodness how cute!!! I love your box and the goblin too.

Yumm! Love the polished look of this, Becky!
Fabulous Beck!! I haven’t tried my template yet.. I will soon!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? How cute is this! The meringue ghost is perfectly cooked. It’s so white, and the shape is great; way to go!
These ghost are so adorable!! Great idea.
Becky these are just to cute for words and of course the packaging puts them over the top. The teachers are just going to flip over these. TFS.

That is the cutiest thing I have seen in quite a while!
Oh my GOODNESS!!! BECKY!!! Your talent slays me my dear friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are fabulous, absolutely fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ((((HUGS)))
How cute!!!
OH! Becky this is way cute. You rocked the box, and that ghost is fabulous!!! WOW!! Thanks for sharing this with us
Great box, wonderful meringues! Soooo cute!
I’m sighing over the meringues— I used to make these all the time (but not your adorable ghosts – would LOVE to try that)… but they don’t work in either my convection oven or my gas one. The old oven was fine… but these… sigh…
The convection browns them or makes them gummy. The gas oven produces too much moisture and they…get weird. Haven’t found a solution yet so I’ll just look at your wonderful ghosts
How cute! That looks like me packing gifts to houses, though!!
OMG How adorable!!!
This is so cute! Love those little gift packages.
I’m sorry Rebecca, I meant my above comment to be for the card with the little gift package and clicked on the wrong comment box.
Well, since I’m here I’ve got to leave a comment on this gift box it is fabulous, I love the Papertrey Halloween stamps!
I love the card! I don’t have the bella, but it would also be perfect with SU’s long christmas stocking from It’s A Stretch! Thanks!!
I am always cruising around through the PTI blogs and I have no idea how I have been missing yours. You are very talented, TFS.
