Celebration Generation is pleased to announce the addition of Croquembouche to our offerings!

These delicious towers of gourmet profiteroles are available with a choice of fillings (pastry cream, mousse - in various flavors), and with a variety of design options. They are a traditional French wedding cake, and are increasing in popularity in the UK and the USA.

They can be dusted with icing sugar, drizzled with chocolate - white, milk, dark, or colored! - wrapped with spun sugar, decorated with gumpaste, icing, silk, or fresh flowers, adorned with ribbons or crystals.. and so much more. Sooo very good! We made one of these for a convention this weekend, and it was the talk of the hospitality suite!

Of course - and this is the “Suffering for art” portion of the title! - I have to mention the danger element of these! Not to the client or the guests it will feed, but to ME! One poorly thought out move, and I find myself with a severe burn - as I did on Saturday morning. Ouch! The caramelized sugar I used to construct this is *nasty* stuff if it makes contact with skin while still hot. Caramelization happens at around 350 degrees!

Tastes really good though, and I think the final product is worth the risk, so I’ll be posting ordering information on the main section of the website (www.celebrationgeneration.com) in the coming days.

Yum!
