What is a croquembouche (a.k.a. croque-en-bouche)?
Answer It is a tree made of stacked pastries with a caramel drizzle.
Croquembouche is a French term that literally means "crunch in the mouth." Small profiterole pastries are filled with whipped cream or pastry cream and stacked several layers high to resemble a tree, The croquembouche is then drizzled with a web of caramelized sugar that hardens and becomes brittle; it's typically decorated with fruit or flowers. It is then served by cracking the caramel shell and removing one pastry. It is commonly served at extravagant weddings.
