This is a sort of "many tiered" cake. It was a December 23rd wedding. Everything is edible except the board, ribbon and the skiers placed down the "mountain" as the bride didn't want a bridal couple. The puffs are filled with Bavarian cream and the cone is hollow with the exception of an ice pack strategically place to allow for assembly and travel. It is encased in spun caramel.

Thanks, Katy - this is one bride I could never say "no" to and I had fun doing it.    Actually, as long as you can keep your filling cold and your caramel stable it isn't too bad.  LOL!

Bravo!  Hats off to you making one of these - no way would I have the courage.  I just know I would get in a most Godawful mess!

Thanks, Ann.  Yes, I worked all night making the cream puffs, and then transported to the church where the ceremony was so I could put it together and take it 15 minutes to the reception because I could not assemble it there.  It was raining and I had to cover it with a plastic bag.  There were strings of caramel coming out and the base of the star on top but they didn't survive.  This is one of my cakes I am most proud of.

When I saw this I had to check where you came from................. and of course the french influence in Canada will explain the croquembouche. I just live 15 miles from the coast of France on a small island called Jersey and I'm often asked to make croquembouche!!!!! It was very brave of you to undertake this, as I know it can only be assembled at the last minute!!! well done Laurie.
