Berries on a Cloud....Ohhh Baby.

I love meringue!! I love how it it puffs up and cracks and looks beautifully homemade! I love the soft marshmallowy center. This recipe adds even more by topping the meringue with a fluffy cream cheesey whip cream layer and then smothered with cherries and strawberries oh my!!!

In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form (do not underbeat).
