Expressing Gratitude to Guests: Did You Know That Croquembouche Is Full of Meaning?

French Wedding Cake "Croquembouche"

"Croquembouche" is a traditional French wedding cake ♡

It is characterized by a tower of cream puffs shaped like a cone＊

This croquembouche embodies two meanings that are perfect for weddings ♡

Did you know?

The first meaning is "prosperity" for descendants.

In French, the term for cream puff, "choux", represents cabbage. In France, babies are said to come from the cabbage patch, so the croquembouche, a wedding cake filled with cream puffs resembling cabbage, symbolizes the prosperity of descendants ♡

The second meaning is gratitude towards guests.

The cream puffs stacked like a pyramid are said to represent "the guests who have cared for the bride and groom", and it is said that the croquembouche symbolizes the gratitude piled up ♡

Therefore, the more you stack it, the more "thank you" there is! That's the idea＊

In France, it is believed that the taller and larger the croquembouche, the better it is ♡

It's cute in appearance, so I recommend it ♡

Although it is a rare sight at Japanese weddings, croquembouche is actually very cute in appearance ♡

You can combine cream puffs of various colors or insert flowers＊

A design wrapped with green vines, resembling Rapunzel, is also cute＊

It's lovely adorned with a sugar veil＊ It looks like flowers are floating ♩

Easy to eat, too ◎

Moreover, because the cream puffs in a croquembouche are individual (?), it is easy to take one from the cake and pop it in your mouth.

I once attended a wedding after-party where a croquembouche wedding cake was served, and all the guests gathered around it, taking cream puffs from the tower and munching away!

The cream inside the puffs had various random flavors, which made it fun to eat, and I thought it was a wonderful interactive experience for guests ♡

However, one thing to be cautious about is its stability!

Croquembouche is often held together with caramel or sugar art, but in hot conditions or over time, it can melt and cause an avalanche...!!

It may not be suitable for weddings or parties in strong sunlight outdoors.

Conversely, during cold seasons, you can rest assured about its stability ♩
