I'm making my friend a Pavlova for his 70th birthday tomorrow. It's sort of the Australian national dessert along with the Peach Melba and Lammingtons.
If you don't know them, they're a big meringue with a flat top which is piled with whipped cream and then whatever you like.
I'm thinking raspberries, strawberries and maybe some bits of chocolate sticking up in that 'ritzy restaurant' way (this kind of thing, but I can't make the chocolate go curly): http://food.ninemsn.com.au/recipes/ichocolate/8345460/chocolate-pavlova-with-raspberries
What do you reckon? Any other ideas?
