Since most of us will be spending Valentine’s Day at home, I thought some at home table side drama like a Baked Alaska with cotton candy flambé would be just the fun we need! This Baked Alaska is layered with raspberry sorbet, vanilla bean butter cake, vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries. It is all topped with toasted fluffy pink meringue and a raspberry cotton candy cloud. The whole thing is dosed is flaming rum for dramatic effect.
