Pavlovas are light as air confections. Glossy and smooth on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside they are one of the most elegant desserts around. Did you know they were actually named after Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. Can you see the resemblance?
Pavlovas are quite stunning and an impressive party dessert.
Their namesake would be proud.

I just wanted to let you know I have a Polyvore Challenge on my blog - - the grand prize is a $1,000 Visa Gift Certificate!! We could all use a little extra cash, right? So get over here and win it, lol :)
I actually knew this! When I was a child, I read a children's book that was about a young fictional ballerina, and they talked about Pavlovas, and how they were named after Anna Pavlova.
I've never actually seen them though! They look delicious!

I can't believe that you featured Pavlovas!! I've been trying to convince myself to attempt making one but am worried that I won't be as pleased with it as the one's I buy out. Very interesting about their name and I can totally see the resemblance -- learned something new today!!
Absolutely gorgeous! I know what I'll serve when I want to look classy :)

Happy Tuesday Dear! xo
(sigh) My mom used to make the most amazing raspberry pavlovas and she told me the story behind the name. This post just brought back so many good memories.
Thank you!
big xo
yum!! These always remind me of Ina Garten. She makes them on Barefoot Contessa, alot
Figured! When I was little, I read a biography about Anna Pavlova, and decided that she was my favorite ballerina. I love her.
I had no clue what a Pavlova even was until I read this post. They are stunning - almost too pretty to eat!! :P
Yum! I'm not sure I've ever had one, but it looks delicious!! I'll have to make a point to go eat one!! :)
WOW I want to try one of those!!!! Beautiful!
PS are you still doing dance on Fridays??
YUM creamy delights!
I'm sure it's 0 calorie!

Ummmm YES please!!! That looks so incredibly delicious!!
Such a lovely dessert for such a beautiful dancer. Now you have my craving a Pavlova! I can't imagine John would mind if I whipped up a batch this afternoon!
I love that you featured this! I think most people didn't know the connection :) Now I'm craving a Pavlova myself!
i love meringue... no matter what shape or form... it reminds me of my grandmother making them!
Those look tasty. I am a terrible baker but if I ever come upon some...
Pavlovas are great - as long as the filling is tart enough to balance out the sickly sweetness of the merengue, else my teeth want to cry!
Good thing I'm sick or you would be wrecking my diet. Ah ha ha!
I have a recipe for a pavlova, but I've been hesitant about making it since I had no idea before now what one was supposed to look like. I think you just expanded my culinary world.
I've never had one or heard of them! They look mighty delicious though.
ohhh my delicious looking!
YUM!!!! beautiful.
I love Anna Pavlova too :)
Yes- SO pretty.
Looks like a great thing to serve with company- or without.
These look amazing! xx
