Croquembouche
Croquembouche, or croque en bouche, literally 'crunch in the mouth', was created in the practice of pièce montée and is now typically served at weddings. The croquembouche has survived as a conical spire of caramelized, filled choux, or cream puffs, bound together with caramel, and decorated.
Our croquembouche is hand-crafted. Please contact us well in advance of your event to make certain it fits within our kitchen schedule.
