Flaming Baked Alaska

My goal for this summer break is a new dessert. This is called the Flaming Baked Alaska. I've seen the non-flaming recipe a while back, but never actually had the guts to make it. Basically an ice cream cake with meringue, baked slightly and then alcohol poured on top, flame it and then voila! Baking ice cream is going to be hard. Mmm...new challenge.

Can I set it on fire anyway?

It'll burn the meringue a lot faster though. I think they either pour alcohol and then light it, or the alcohol is already lit and they pour it. Fancy smancy. We should just go somewhere fancy for dessert :).
