    Looked super cute but taste wasnt there. I like a nice tart bite and expected a very lemony flavor but it was missing entirely. Meringue was off as was the "crust" and I am not quite sure how to adjust the proportions to save it. I think for those who like sweets, skip the meringue and just add coolwhip on top and it will be fine (possibly use pre-made sponge cakes too. For those who want something with the sweet-tart flavor make lemon bars or a real lemon meringue pie for the effort.

    I made these tea cakes for a dinner party I recently had and was so disappointed when I served them to my guests. No one finished them. The cake portion was tasteless...the pudding layer was runny and the meringue was blah! I have made many of Sandra's recipie's in the past which proved to be excellent. This, however was not! I will make certain I read the reviews before making any of Sandra's desserts in the future.

    I followed the instructions precisely for the crusts, baked them for the time instructed, but they turned out gooey and did not hold their shape. I didn't even make the rest of the recipe.

    Do you cool these before eating them, or do you eat them as soon as they come
    out of the oven? Also, how do you store left-overs?

    This is my recipe and I have to say it is so easy to make. You can even make a chocolate version. To answer the question of how far ahead to make them, I would say that you can make everything except the meringue a day ahead of time. Make the meringue the day you are serving them.

    I haven't made this yet. Question: How far ahead can I make these? Same day? Day before?

    I made these today for an event and they were gone the instant they were served. Everyone absolutely RAVED about them and asked for the recipe. Even another lady who owns a local catering business asked for the recipe and remarked about how pretty and delicious they were.
    I absolutely recommend this recipe!
