carrie Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Does anyone know where I can buy a croque en bouche cone from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I presume you mean the metal cone for you to make & form your own ' profiterole' cone. Or do you mean a ready made stack of yummies? Maybe Lakeland or a cake tin supplier / decorator? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I think the correct spelling is 'croquembouche', that might make it easier to search? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrie Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thanks for your replies They all look very expensive Someone did suggest a plastic witches hat Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Could you improvise with a cardboard cone perhaps covered in clingfilm to stop the fibres sticking to the caramel? I suppose it depends on how tall a croquembouche you want to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I had a lovely croquembouche wedding cake all those years ago.. made by a friend, she used some sort of silicone cone for the centre. The cake itself was just a show item, with trays of choux balls made up for serving. I only have old photos of it, but it looked a bit like this one... balls filled with confectioners' custard and encased in spun sugar dotted with wild flowers.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 at Egluntyne! Once went to a wedding where the cake was a 5 foot croquembouche. It was dismantled for dessert which was great fun and rather messy.... luckily it was a very laid-back wedding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
