I must admit Sydney and I are once again writing a post at 1:00 am; we must sub-conscientiously enjoy the hour. Yesterday I explained the romantic and loving memory that The Champagne Sugar Cookies represents for both Sydney and myself. We actually began planning how we would decorate our individual bottles and glasses; when it dawned upon me anyone in a relationship would have a bottle of wine or champagne (with or without alcohol ) representing a heart felt experience .
Here is how we decorated our glasses and bottles.

Fresh egg white mise en place base

Meringue powder mise en place
In a mixing bowl add the meringue powder and water. Beat on medium high speed for 3 mintues or until soft peaks form.

Soft peak meringue
This is almost the same base as above, but if your uncomfortable with using raw egg whites the meringue powder works just as well.

Stiff peaks base
