A modern croquembouche is a cone-shaped tower of cream puffs. Some people like to say âprofiterolesâ, but that word makes me think of chocolate sauce. Also the brilliantly acted but gruesome 1989 cult film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover. Where are my %@#^$# profiteroles!!! I shiver just thinking about it. Croquembouche means âcrunch in the mouthâ, an apt description for what happens when you bite into a piece, as the âglueâ that holds the tower together is candy cooked nearly to the caramel stage. Croquembouche is traditionally served as a centerpiece for a wedding or baptism party, and is often decorated with almonds.
