We made a croquembouche for the New Year's Eve - pate choux recipe from Dorie Greenspan's "Around my French table", pastry cream filling and spun sugar "strips" holding the whole thing together.

Quite a showstopper and really yummy!

That is a showstopper! Lovely. I hope your guests were suitably impressed.

How far ahead of time can you make one of these before it turns into a soggy mess?
