I was really impressed when I saw Alizee's "gateaux" here. We already know she has won a pastry contest, and the skills needed to make good pastries are different than being a regular chef. The precision of ingredient measurements are extremely important. Timing is everything. Patience is a virtue. It very different than being a cook where ingredients are often eye-balled and the taste buds are the best judge of how much to use.
These cakes (or pies) look pretty much perfect. They have caramelized meringue, which means only one thing - Alizee knows how to use a blow torch, and very well.
