Croquembouche

A croquembouche is a French cake consisting of a conical heap of cream-filled choux buns bound together with a brittle caramel sauce, and usually decorated with ribbons or spun sugar. It is often served at weddings. The name comes from the French words meaning 'crunch in the mouth'.

The choux buns can also be made with savoury fillings.
