Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C and line two 46cm x 33cm baking trays.
  • Simmer rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, and water for 10-15 minutes until soft.
  • Strain the liquid, reduce it to a syrup, and fold back the fruit.
  • Beat cream, cream cheese, and mascarpone together, then swirl in the fruit sauce.
  • Cream butter and sugar, then mix in egg whites, flour, and red food colouring.
  • Pipe patterns onto baking trays using a 5mm nozzle and freeze.
  • Whisk egg whites with sugar to form stiff peaks for the meringue.
  • Beat almonds, icing sugar, and eggs until fluffy, then mix in flour.
  • Fold meringue and melted clarified butter into the almond batter.
  • Spread the batter over the frozen patterns on the trays.
  • Bake for 5-7 minutes, then peel off paper to reveal the design.
  • Line rings with sponge strips and bases, then pipe in the filling.
  • Chill for 30 minutes before removing rings and decorating with strawberries and mint.
