croquembouche

20111225_4236

halfway through my baking project and although this croquembouche wasn't initially on my christmas baking list, I am glad I finally got to make one. I only wish I could have gotten a nicer photo but I was completely overjoyed that I finally finished, as it was a long day of baking. I ended up making the toffee about three times, if it didn't work out on my third attempt I was getting ready to give up. So although it doesn't exactly look like Adriano Zumbo's croquembouche I was happy with my attempt and quickly took a photo before the light completely disappeared. The crunch is SO spectacular! definitely worth all the blisters I endured.

I hope everyone had a lovely christmas day, ours was very simple - which to me was perfection.
