Remove from the poaching liquid and cool. Slice peaches and decorate plate. FOR WHIPPED CREAM: In a well chilled bowl with chilled beaters, beat the crream with the vanilla and sugar until firm. Place a blob on top of a piece of cake and garnish. Sugar can be omitted depending on taste. FOR MERINGUE: Beat egg whites with 1/3 cup sugar and vanilla until stiff. (it helps to have warmed the bowl and beaters with warm water first then dry before use. This will ensure a high whip) By hand working quickly, blend in the powdered sugar thoroughly. Take a plastic sandwich or pastry tube and pipe out strips of meringue onto a sheet pan. Place in a 250 degree oven for about 1 hour or until dry. This can be done a day in advance and stored in an airtight container. (continued in Part 2)
