Croquembouche
Posted by LaRenaissance on Apr 20, 2010 in Featured Item |
Croquembouche, a traditional French dessert composed of profiteroles and decorated with wispy threads of spun sugar, is often seen at Christmastime, but can be used to mark a celebration at any time of the year, including weddings, anniversaries, baptisms, bar and bat mitzvahs and first communions.
At La Renaissance, we begin by baking our own choux, and then filling each one by hand with pastry cream. The cream puffs are then artfully arranged as an impressive, towering confection, held together by caramel and decorated with sugared almonds, custom messages, festive ribbons–whatever you might wish for!
