That is gorgeous and I'm dying to try it. Just curious ... how far ahead can it be assembled? I have a picnic in a couple of weeks and would love to dazzle with this! :-) This recipe is best assembled as close to serving as possible. The meringues would start to break down under the whipped cream and change the composure of the dessert. It's best to keep the contrasting textures in their best form which often means keeping them separate for as long as possible. I hope this is helpful. ~Amy
