Preheat oven to 90-100°C (approximately 190-210°F).
Mix sugar, cornstarch and baking powder. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually sprinkle sugar mixture into egg whites and continue beating until stiff peaks form and mixture is shiny. Transfer meringue mixture to a pastry bag with a large star tip.

Set baking sheet on bottom rack in oven, prop oven door ajar and let meringue dry for 4-5 hours. Let meringue cool.

Rinse, peel and slice fruit and berries as necessary.
