Challenge:
Meringue Bombe
When talking about the Showstopper in Desserts Week (Episode 7) of Season 14 of The Great British Baking Show ™, Prue Leith said "A meringue bombe should look like a sphere and inside it there should be any kind of dessert the contestants like."
Paul Hollywood added "The meringue itself is probably going to be a French meringue because it is stable and strong."
Prue Leith closed with "the most obvious option is to use a mould for the bombe, in which case the bakers will do the mould in two halves."

What did we learn from the Showstopper?
Almost every week during a series of The Great British Baking Show ™, it is true that the Showstopper Challenge does not represent anything that a typical baker would ever make at home. Therefore, most often we will not study the baker's dishes (since we'll never want to replicate them) - instead we'll highlight interesting elements of the bakes.
