Step 1: Make the FunCakes Meringue Powder

Preheat the oven to 120°C (100°C hot-air oven). Degrease the mixing bowl and whisk with hot water. Make 14 g FunCakes Meringue Powder with 125 ml water and 125 g fine granulated sugar. Beat the mixture on high speed to a firm foam. Add 250 grams of fine granulated sugar in a jet. Beat until the foam develops stiff peaks.

Step 2: Bake the meringue

Put the meringue in piping bags with Wilton's #1M and #1B nozzles. Pipe the meringue onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Decorate the meringues with the FunCakes Nonpareils Black and FunCakes Nonpareils Gold. Bake the meringues in the oven for about 1.5 hours, then leave to cool in the oven. 

Step 3: Making the meringue tower

Paint some meringues gold with the Sugarflair Edible Paint Matt Gold. Then melt some of the FunCakes Chocolate Melts Gold and use it to stick the meringues onto the tower. Fill the tower with meringue drops and the FunCakes Fondant Decorations Stars. Place the tower on the gold FunCakes Cake Drum.
