France is a paradise for delicious cakes, like this cake called Croquembouche for example. The stack of soes cakes that are arranged conical upwards and glued together with caramel to keep them together and look beautiful. Then what is the story of this pretty cake?

Starting from the word croque-en-bouche which means ‘crispy in the mouth’ in French, this sweet dish is one of the variants of choux pastry-based cake creations. This dish was first discovered by Antonin Carême, a French chef who is also a famous high-class cook. The recipe was first published by Carême in his recipe book entitled Le Pâtissier royal parisien in 1815.

How to Make Croquembouche
Although the ingredients for making creations from this choux pastry are quite easy to obtain, it takes precision and creativity when arranging the soes into towers so that the results can be arranged perfectly beautiful.
To make it, first prepare a few pieces of soes and melted caramel. Caramel can be made by melting sugar with water slowly on the pan until the sugar thickens and turns brown. Also prepare nuts, pearl decorations, flower decorations, or strawberry fruit pieces for additional decoration.
