Croque-en-bouche

"A croquembouche or croque-en-bouche is a French dessert consisting of choux pastry balls piled into a cone and bound with threads of caramel."

As watchers of past Masterchef competitions we have seen contestants struggle to make this spectacular dessert. I asked Joe what he'd like for a birthday cake and Dave suggested this!!!!  Actually after a false start with the first lot of choux paste it was easier than we'd thought with the biggest challenge being how to construct the cone needed for assembly.  This was the finished result of which we were duly proud (and it tasted really good).
