Steps:
- Make the cake mix according to pack instructions, adding the blue and purple sprinkles to the raw batter.
- Bake in a 7" round cake tin that has been greased and lined with baking parchment and leave to cool on a wire rack.
- Double line the base of a 2-pint glass bowl with plastic wrap, leaving the edges quite long so that you can get the ice cream out easily.
- Leave the purple ice cream to soften slightly and then spoon it into the bottom of the bowl. Smooth over and then put into the freezer for 2 hours to set firmly. Repeat with the blue layer-which should come to the top of the bowl approximately.
- When the cake has cooled down, trim around the edge so that it fits the bowl exactly and press it down onto the ice cream. Put back in the freezer.
- Using the fondant, make a face for the Yeti and set aside. Brush with water and sprinkle over the sanding sugar.
- Stir the caster sugar and water in a small pan fitted with the sugar thermometer, until dissolved. Heat gently until the mixture starts to thicken and turn yellow (240F).
- Whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks and slowly drizzle in the hot syrup, whisking constantly until the mixture is stiff and glossy. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle.
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer and upturn it onto a serving plate. Remove the plastic wrap and stick the face onto the side of the ice cream. Pipe the yeti's fur all over in long spikes. Return to the freezer until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, brown the meringue lightly with a Brule torch.

INDIVIDUAL BAKED ALASKA
This is an "Impress Your Friends" dessert for sure, and it's incredibly simple to make. I've included recipes for sauces here, but you can use whatever sauces, whatever cake bases, whatever ice-cream you like. It's really simple, and delicious. I used to make these all the time in the restaurant I worked in.

Steps:
- To make the chocolate sauce: chop the chocolate to a rough consistency.
- Heat the cream just to a scald, then pour over the chocolate.
- Do not stir.
- Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then stir with a whisk until smooth.
- Makes about 1 cup.
- To make the raspberry sauce: Puree the raspberries in a blender with the remaining ingredients.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds.
- Refrigerate until needed.
- Makes about 1 cup.
- To assemble the ice-cream bases: line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Using a 3" round cookie cutter (or a glass) cut 6 circles out of the cake, and place them on the parchment.
- Place a scoop of ice cream in the center of each piece of cake, making sure you leave a small margin of cake visible all the way around.
- Place in the freezer until the meringue is ready.
- To prepare the meringue: combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a heavy, 1-quart saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil, then cook until the syrup reaches 230 degrees F.
- (thread stage) on a candy thermometer.
- Meanwhile, place the egg whites in the bowl of your mixer, and fit the whip attachment to your mixer.
- When the syrup reaches the thread stage, start whipping your egg whites on high speed.
- When the syrup reaches 245-250 degrees F.
- (firm-ball stage), lower the speed of the mixer to low, and very, very, VERY slowly start pouring the syrup in, in a slow, steady, thin stream until it is all used up.
- Immediately return the mixer to high speed and continue whipping until the meringue reaches a very stiff peaked consistency.
- Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fit with a plain tip.
- Remove the ice cream bases from the freezer.
- Now you are going to create a meringue"beehive" around each scoop of ice cream.
- I find it easier to do this by removing one ice-cream scoop at a time to a cake turntable or a flat-work surface that I can spin around, like a small plate, pipe the meringue, then using a thin spatula, returning it carefully to the parchment.
- To pipe the meringue you need to start at the bottom edge of the cake, pipe a ring of meringue around the icecream so that it completely covers the cake edge.
- Then continue to pipe a line of meringue all around the scoop of ice cream, making sure you completely cover the ice cream, and that each line of meringue rests on top of the previous one.
- Finish with a small circle at the top.
- Repeat with remaining ice cream bases.
- Return them to the freezer until ready to serve.
- Just before service, decorate your plate: choose an oversize plate, like a dinner plate.
- Then using the sauces, paint or spoon or swirl them on to your hearts content.
- Any design you like.
- I like to just use squiggles, but anything goes at this point.
- Now- if you don't have a torch, you will need to turn your oven to broil.
- If you have a torch, get it ready.
- Remove the meringues from the freezer, and dust the top of each one with the confectioners sugar in a fine mesh strainer.
- If you are using a broiler, place the baking sheet under the broiler but leave the door open and watch.
- You will only need about 30-45 seconds, just enough time for the meringue to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, place one in the center of each plate, and serve.
- If you are using a torch, turn your torch to a med-low setting, and carefully, gently use the torch to brown the outside of the meringues.
- Place one meringue on each plate, and serve.
- Notes: You can use any type of cake you want here- this recipe is more a method than anything.
- I've used chocolate chiffon as a base, I've used spongecake, poundcake, leftover slices of cupcakes!
- Anything, anyflavor, but it needs to be at least 1/4" thick.
- You can also use any flavor ice-cream- experiment, go wild.
- Sorbet is great this way- I've done mango sorbet, and lime sorbet- they taste terrific.
- Experiment, have fun, and don't be intimidated by this dessert.
- It's fun, and it's easy, and your friends and relatives will"oooohhhh!
- "and"ahhhhh!
- "you to death!

- At least 1 day and up to 1 week before serving, assemble the ice cream dome: Transfer all of the ice cream to the refrigerator for 15 minutes to soften.
- Remove the nutty ice cream and scoop it into the prepared bowl; using a rubber spatula or small offset metal spatula, press the ice cream into the bottom of the bowl, smoothing the surface into an even, smooth layer.
- Meanwhile, make the cake layer base: Preheat an oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter, and line it with a circle of parchment paper cut to fit the bottom of the pan.
- In a double boiler, combine the butter and remaining 8 ounces chocolate and cook, stirring occasionally, until just melted. Remove and set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the yolks, pistachio flour, and rice flour, and pulse to combine. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the warm chocolate mixture.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the 6 egg whites on high speed until medium-stiff peaks begin to form, 2-3 minutes.
- Using a large rubber spatula and working in two batches, fold the meringue into the chocolate mixture, mixing well after each addition. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake until just set but still quite soft, 35-40 minutes.
- A few hours before you are ready to serve, remove the bowl of ice cream from the freezer and the cake from the refrigerator. Unwrap the cake and uncover the top of the ice cream.
- Make the meringue topping: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the 4 egg whites; beat on medium speed until the whites begin to turn foamy, 30-60 seconds.
- Immediately remove the Baked Alaska from the freezer. Using a rubber spatula, scoop the meringue evenly over the ice cream in decorative swoops and swirls.
