Croquembouche!

Not nearly as extravagant as the french pastry chefs and the traditional french wedding cake but pretty good for a very very first attempt! Although did burn a couple of fingers in the process. Ouchy! No pain, no gain, no hard lessons learnt! Definitely won't be making the same mistakes twice...

Would love to try making a larger version of this! Too bad these towers don't last a long time (they are quite perishable as the pastry becomes soggy) so very exclusive for us to make... :)

We've had a pretty productive weekend here. Dished out a couple of yummy moreish cakes and experimented with a lot of new things. Even dabbled in some sugar art from toffee to delicate flower making.

Had our kitchen smelling awesome and then some!

Lots of prep work for our next big things over the weekend, huge three-tier wedding cake! so we spent a very relaxing morning doing some sugar art and making petals for peonies like the one below. productiveness = time well spent without the stress, and we spent our time well this weekend!
