Piece Montée (puff pastry or éclairs)

The May 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge.


This month’s challenge recipe is for a Piece Montée, which means literally “mounted piece.” You may know this dessert by another name – Croquembouche (“crunch in the mouth”).
since i was ill mostly for the past 2 months, and now due to eye lazer surger i was not allowed to bake (or sit long hours in front of the pc) but i tried!!.
For recipe & description kindly go to Cat of Little Miss Cupcake.


Thank you!

Note: the flower decoration and photos credits’ goes to my sweet nieces.


The May 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Cat of Little Miss Cupcake. Cat challenged everyone to make a piece montée, or croquembouche, based on recipes from Peter Kump’s Baking School in Manhattan and Nick Malgieri.
