Croquembouche Bday Cake
Ok, so a Croquembouche is originally made for weddings but I decided to surprise our friend with a big mountain of choux filled with bavarian cream or chocolate cream. This took about 100 choux and several hours of work. Over the top is a little flag form India with a leyend of his bday. Was fun making this cake for the first time.
I love croquembouche! Yummy! What did you do for the cone part?
looks yummy but what is a croquembouche?? Sorry i've never heard of it.
Croquembouche is a french wedding cake, its name means croquem = craking and bouche = mouth that cracks in your mouth since they crack due to the sugar that holds them together. For the cone, I used cardboard covered with parchment paper.
WOW-hope he has a lot of people to share it with-yummy!
oh my! I LOVE croquembouche too.......and I applaud you for making it. Brings back memories!
