Well, now, HAIRSTYLE implies (1) style, and (2) hair. It's difficult to style what's been burned off!

vanilla and lemon zest. Sift together cake flour, 3/4
cup sugar and baking powder in another bowl. Stir
nonfat milk mixture just until blended. Pour into
9-inch indented, fluted shortcake pan sprayed with
non-stick vegetable spray. Bake at 375 degrees F.
about 20 minutes or until cake tests done in the
center. Let cool in pan 5 minutes. Loosen edges and
turn out onto wire rack with wax paper underneath.
Combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice in
small sauce pan. Heat to boiling. Simmer about 1
minute or until syrup is clear. Brush syrup over top
and sides of cake while cake is still warm. Place cake
on serving platter. Arrange raspberries, kiwi wedges
and papaya balls in attractive arrangement on top of
cake. Garnish center with lemon rose and several lemon
leaves, if available. Makes 8 servings.
