    Best part of the video: the crunch of the profiterole as you sliced the cake. Most beautiful cake I've seen you do yet!!!

    Still hoping you'll do a human anatomy inspired cake, please. Ya know, cuz nothing says "wedding season" more than body part(s)! No? Just me?

      9:36 it kinda looks like something here... could possibly just shape your Croquem"bouche" differently ;)

    *Question.* When making this, do you have to say "plop" after dropping each egg? I bet that helps with consistency, huh?😉😅

    So happy about this video. I've been trying to explain to my fiance that a Croquembouche on top of a "standard" wedding cake would work (to mix my frenchness with his britishness), and this is spot on! Now to learn how to bake...

  • @mom2mmpt
    @mom2mmpt 6 років тому

    The way you drape the fondant over the cake it looks just like fabric. You make it look very easy!

    "I'm going to Americanize it a bit..."
    I honestly thought you were going to announce the pastry cream was going to have bacon and cheese, at that point.

  • @OSCARMlLDE
    @OSCARMlLDE 6 років тому +14

    I had to write an imagist poem for class so I wrote one about a croquembouche. It goes like this:
    Unpronounceable name
    But it's French, so what did you expect?
    Consisting of eggs and frustration
    One wrong move
    And you're left with Jewish funeral bread

THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CROQUEMBOUCHE WEDDING CAKE IDEA! SUCH A UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL (AND I'M SURE IT'S DELICIOUS, TOO!) CROQUEMBOUCHE CAKE!!

    @gwynrose2427 6 років тому

    OMG this is exactly the kind of cake me and my partner want to do. I want a semi-traditional American cake, but my partner is French and wants a croquembouche, so we thought, why not both? This is awesome!

  • @UpsideDownLoveX

    I made one of these in college, without a cone. It's so much fun to make and so satisfying to see the end result!

  • @sarahsavagebassett7134

  • @abaigealduda2756
    @abaigealduda2756 6 років тому

    I'm a Justice of the Peace, and I see a lot of weddings. I think this is a spectacular idea, and if I were to get married again, I'd go with a version of this. What a really great idea, and fun and easy for guests, too! I also loved your steampunk cake. I may steal that idea later this year to compete in a local (but very competitive) agricultural fair. I'm not a cake maker, but I do love to bake; you really inspire me. Thank you!!!!

    JJR,
    My 2.5 year old daughter ADORES you! She has a CHD and as she gets closer to her 2nd open heart surgery, she's become tired and crabby, however as soon as we put you on, she gets super excited! She calls you the "Cakey Guy" and loves to re-watch all the Man About Cake videos.
    Thank you for bringing her joy :)
    P.S.- Katja says "Hi Cakey Guy"

    For everyone doing this, Here are some Tips for the Pâte à Choux...
    1. After incorporating the flour to your water butter salt sugar mix keep stirring until a white layer forms on the bottom of your Pan, that Just insures that all the starch granules burst
    2. Let the doug/pastry knead without adding Eggs in the standmixer until No more Steam comes of it.
    3. After the dough/pastry hast cooled down a little add in one egg at a time and wait until its fully incorporated.

    I love this. Also came away feeling it was incomplete as I’ve always seen these made with the threads of sugar added at the end. I see that it would be hard to do because of the cake, but maybe improvise some caramelized sugar shapes to add on as a substitute?

Do you plan on doing famous or most-wished wedding cakes from different countries? Would be intresting to see if there's a difference in flavours and decoration or if there's not.
