Crunch in the mouth: go French with your wedding cake

The 'Croque-en Bouche ' is a classic French style wedding cake. It's a great alternative to the traditional iced-white-wedding-cake and will ravish your guests' taste buds.

It's made of profiteroles (choux pastries) filled with creme patissiere (French custard). They are dipped in caramelised sugar which when set gives the cake's name justice: crunch in the mouth.

It's traditionally decorated with nougatine curls and sugar almonds with an optional spun sugar veil, but cake maker often offer a variety of options like chocolate fillings, vanilla flavouring our Baileys finishing.


You can serve the choux with fresh fruits for a summer feel or caramel and chocolate sauce in winter.

It's a winner and we can't get enough of it!!
