The magnificent Croquembouche inspired by a Middle Eastern dessert known as “towers of paradise.” This towering dessert gained popularity during the reign of King Louis XIV. A perfect centerpiece for his extravagant royal celebrations. Besides being very visually appealing the Croquembouche is delicious. This one is made with chocolate but some are made with caramelized sugar. Enjoy. #croquembouche #foodhistory #dessert #historicaldessert #weddingfood #partyfood #afternoontea☕️ #frenchcuisine
