The Croqueembouche is a traditional French wedding & christening cake, also called “Piece Montée”. A long time ago in France, it was a custom for villagers to throw buns into a pile in preparation for the wedding feast. A clever baker decided to take some bun-like pastries stuffed with cream and fastened them as a pyramid, like the mound of buns, creating a tall cone of caramel-coated cream puffs called Croqueembouche “crisp in the mouth”. The cone was topped with caged doves, which are released to symbolise the newlyweds’ departure from their families.

We fill the choux with crème patissière, and the flavors are vanilla, chocolate, praline and salted butter
caramel.
A single flavour for less than 30 choux Croquembouche, and a maximum of two flavors for more than 30 choux Croquembouche. We recommend 3 choux per guest.
We decorate the cake with spun sugar and sugar coated almond dragees at no extra charge.
Nougatine spikes around the Croquembouche on demand.
We can add sugar flowers and small nougatine plaque with message at extra charge.
