Poinsettias are synonymous with Christmas, so adorning any baked creations with these edible, glittered beauties ticks soooo many boxes for me (Hani) this season! Not only these Poinsettias meringues make for a stunning, festive desserts or decorations, but they also make for a beautiful handmade gift ! AND they're a lot easier to make then they look! ;)
