Thanks dear....but...it rose in the oven but came down straight after I took it out..why? I thought about it and concluded that it's becoz my meringue didnt have as stift peaks as I expected...it was still quite flow-y...would that be why?? And the inside leh..is moist but not gooey.....

[lowxinlian]

yup! ur peaks has to be really stiff (:
try again the next time!

Oh those "bowls" are ramekins...it acts like a tray for the mixture to rise
