Weddings Cakes
Croquembouche: A specific type of pièce montée made using choux pastry balls bound with caramel and filled with a crème patissiere.
A pièce montée is an elaborate, often towering, French confectionery showpiece, typically used as a centrepiece at banquets, weddings, and other special occasions. Traditionally, it is composed of choux pastry, nougatine, and sugar work, painstakingly assembled into intricate, decorative forms. In modern pastry arts, various materials and artistic techniques are employed to create piece montées, further pushing the boundaries of culinary creativity.
