“We have prepared his favorite meal: New England Clam Chowder, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Idaho Potatoes, and Baked Alaska.” This it the line that instantly comes to mind when I think about a Baked Alaska. Ahhh… the joys of being a billionaire!
One would normally think that a “mini” version of this grandiose treat would be incredibly difficult, not so much. No need to have a kitchen staff to be able to enjoy this delicious desert.
