Where we were living at the time, we had hundreds of chickens and ducks. That meant hundreds and hundreds of eggs - so many eggs! Could we work with this? Perhaps do something that uses up these eggs? Then it hit me. Meringues!

So I got straight to it. I started whipping up these eggs produced by our beloved chickens and ducks and transformed them into artfully designed meringues. My son, Harris (he’s a teenager now but he was only little at the time) helped by standing out at the end of our driveway, handing out samples of my meringues and feedback forms to cyclists and whoever went by. 

Two and a half weeks later, orders started coming in. It was fantastic!
