Croquembouche
Croquembouche is a traditional French wedding or celebration cake. It is usually made with choux buns filled with creme patisserie (flavoured with alcohol if you wish), which are then assembled in a tower and coated with a caramelised sugar/toffee sauce. We usually place our croquembouche on a croquant stand which is made from toffee and almonds then decorated with royal icing. A number of varities are possible including spun sugar decoration, flowers or traditional sugared almonds.
Another alternative is a chocolate croquembouche where the choux buns are filled with fresh cream, assembled and then smothered in a rich chocolate sauce.
Croquembouche can be made in many sizes to cater for all occasions.
