Floating Islands and a teacake

Through my cooking hobby I just keep on learning new cooking techniques. I never knew that one could poach a meringue, but you can! While the meringue itself is low fat, the traditional recipe serves them on a bed of cream anglaise (a.k.a fatty fat fat), however this version is the hip-friendly version served on a raspberry 'cream' (a.k.a low fat vanilla yoghurt blended with raspberries).

However, in the name of balancing things out, I also baked a caramel-almond teacake... I didn't eat it though, my lovely work colleagues got to enjoy this one, and I have stumbled a easy peesy caramel icing recipe in the process.
