A croquembouche is a classic French cake made by assembling cream puffs into a conical tower, decorated with caramel threads and other sugar decorations. Croquembouche is French for “crunch in the mouth”, which refers to the crunchy caramel shell around each cream puff that serves as a delicious mortar to hold the tower together.
