I rather a knife cut than sugar burn. Good god, it stings so bad! Alas the burn will be worth it, as today prepping was made for the beautiful Croquembouche.
Just one of the 4 blisters I obtained from today’s sugar work.. No so sweet, really!
Croquembouche which literally means crunch-in-the-mouth, is a traditional French wedding cake; it is stacked with layers upon layer of choux pastry filled with pastry cream which is then dipped in to caramel.. Yes more sugar work awaits me.. But its so gonna be worth it in the end. Croquembouche is so intricate that we had 2 whole lesson, about 6 hours of work, dedicated to it… Will post more details next week… And finally just wanna wish myself HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I’ve had such a blessed year and the up coming year is going to be more fantabulous.
The prep work in progress, next week it’ll all make sense.
