Badabadum~! Badabadum~! (It may not be exactly correct but I am trying to hum the Indiana Jones theme song to build up some suspense...) I hereby christen this croquembouche the "Leaning Tower of Cream Puffs". *Proceeds to crack it open with a big ass kitchen knife.* Joking. I know that proper croquembouche christening involves a champagne bottle.
My favorite dad (still a favorite even if he's my only dad) is turning a lovely age this year. Taking mom's aging calender, the fact that she doesn't want to be married to an older man, and that everyone knows mom and dad are born in the same year. HAPPY 48th BIRTHDAY, DAD!!!
(As promised, this cake made from your favorite dessert will be recreated for you when I visit.)
