This dessert has become as popular as the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova herself. Two chefs are fighting for authorship: one from Australia, the other from New Zealand. Who was the first to do this is a moot point. We, by and large, do not care who invented this dessert, the main thing is that it exists. I made a base for it and got wonderful cakes.
