Stiff White Peaks

"So what we gonna have, dessert or disaster?" - Knock You Down: Keri Hilson feat. Kanye West

 

I was watching Top Chef Masters the other day and one of the challenges was to whip the egg whites so that they would hold upside down for 5 seconds. So I thought why not try to use that for my inspiration for today's photo.

 

All I would need was a mixing bowl, a whisk and an egg. It's more conceptual than anything. You have the egg suspended in air by the whisk and it's suppose to be so stiff that it can cling to the whisk and not fall into the bowl.

 

It's ok, I've been called crazy before.
