Day 17

Croquembouche


croquembouches are just choux balls glued together with caramel. they are like wedding cakes in france.


my croquembouche wanted to be a big, tall, pointy croquembouche, but i ran out of choux.

these are some more croquembouche that the class made.


the green stuff is pistachio. and the really really tall one? the chef made that.


there is just one problem with croquembouche: hot, hot caramel. i sort of burned my fingers. and if you look closely, there is a blister on my palm, too.
