How to Make a Croquembouche for the Holidays

Give your holiday dessert table a centerpiece everyone can pull apart and share. In this hands-on baking class at Antsy Nancy, you’ll learn to make a croquembouche, a classic French dessert made by stacking cream puffs into a tower and holding them together with golden caramel.

We’ll walk through each step, from piping and baking pâte à choux to filling the puffs with silky vanilla pastry cream. Then comes the fun part. You’ll dip the cream puffs in caramel, stack them into a festive tower, and finish with delicate strands of spun sugar.

Come with a friend or treat yourself to some time in the kitchen. Beginners are welcome, and you’ll leave knowing how to make cream puffs for any occasion and turn them into a showstopper for the holidays.
