As is my wont I used lots of culinary terms about my efforts as a cook but try as I might there was no indication as to when and where the butter is used? So I left it out. Tomorrow afternoon I will be constructing the ediface. If it all falls flat at least I can blame the lack of butter!! Coach me please!

I can see what a wonderful job you have done. Do you know if the recipe could be adapted to make a smaller one? .. I want to make one for valentines day for my husband and I to share.

I made an attempt on a croquembouche yesterday, It certainly didn't look as spectacular as yours, I had some trouble with the profiteroles, after they can out of the oven they went flat and soft losing all of their puff. I admit I used a different recipe as I didn't want to make as many, so the recipe I used made only about 20 puffs, what do you think was the reason for the deflated puffs? I hope you can help me... regardless it tasted awesome! Your croquembouche looks fantastic, I bet it tasted devine!

What a way to celebrate Christmas (who cares if it collapses later, as long as everyone can ooh and aah at it!). And your gingerbread house looks so cute in the background. A mammoth effort!
