Personal Notes:
For Christy's "cake" we use a 9 inch cake pan to draw a circle on the paper. Then spread all the meringue onto it with a well in the center. The bottom will be about 1/2" thick and the sides about 1-3/4" tall. Bake at 275º for one hour, then leave in closed oven for about 2 hours. (Whatever you have time for) We use a large container of cool whip mixed together with raspberries for the filling, then top with plain cool whip and strawberries on top!
