A Luscious Lipstick Confection
Well, Darlings, I've just spent a lovely afternoon dressing up a pair of partridges and fashioning some savory side dishes, but I must say the dessert was definitely the most delectable part of the evening.
You must try it. Absolutely delightful!
It really is quite simple, dears. Start out with a bit of fresh cream-- say, 2/3 of a cup, one nice sized vanilla bean pod, and 100 ccs of collagen (don't skimp, it adds volume), and scald it over a medium flame. Then dissolve 2/3 cup of fine white granulated sugar and allow it to cool thoroughly. In the meantime, prepare your lipsticks. This is easiest if they are good and cold, so be sure to store them in the freezer until you are ready to use them. Separate the sticks from their packaging, dip each in sugar syrup, and set on a rack to drain. Separate 8 eggs, and whip them to stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until light and fluffy (remove the vanilla bean first, of course!). Fold together the whipped cream and whites. To assemble, layer the sugared lipsticks alternately with the cream mixture, ending with the cream. I like to reserve my favorite lipstick for a final garnish.
Bon Appetit!

Hello Fashioneatsa,
This really is fabulous, I can't believe that I've never made a lipstick dessert before. And it really was so simple, like you said.
I just have one small question... do you suggest coordinating your lipstick choice for the evening with the lipstick flavor you use in the dessert?
Sincerely,
Ida Lovesom
Dearest Ida,
Oh, I am completely negligent in not addressing the coordination issue! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention!
Most certainly, coordinate, coordinate. The choices are only limited by your imagination! If you choose to make the dessert with red-orange tints, stick to the red-orange end of the spectrum at the dressing table. Never, never, mix pinks and oranges, lest someone mistake you as a time-traveler from the 70s! Likewise, it is a bit contrived to match exactly-- the classic bridesmaid bumble!
