Notes
How long can you store Eton Mess for? it will store for 3 days in the fridge in individual elements (although the Chantilly cream will lose some of it's oomph), so please consider below.
If looking to make ahead of time: prepare all elements separately and store separately, then assemble to serve.
The most important element is do not add the meringues until you are ready to serve. This is to avoid meringue going soft in the cream mix.
