French Wedding Cake

Last Friday we had our final for level 2 which was a Croque en Bouche. It is a French wedding cake and is NOTHING like an American wedding cake. It is made of nougatine, which is a peanut brittle type consistency, puffs or choux with caramel and royal icing. Typically, on the top of one of these they put a mousse cake. They eat the mousse cake, then have at the nougatine and choux. This is very fragile and had to be turned over in order to do the piping that was draped.

The piping enjoyed falling to the ground and so that was enjoyable! It really wasn't too bad though, I showed that Croque who was boss...Guess who the boss was? Yep, your right...it was me!
