Croquembouche French Wedding Cake Porcelain Limoges Box

At a French wedding the cake is often a croquembouche, a towering cone of cream puffs bound together with spun caramel. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box takes on that celebrated shape, and it was made in Limoges, France.

Puffs Stacked to the Sky

The croquembouche is the showpiece of French celebrations, served at weddings, baptisms and grand family dinners. Rendered in porcelain and painted by hand, each little puff in the stack carries its own shading, so no two cakes come out quite alike.

Here Comes the Pastry

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• A memorable remembrance for newlyweds or a bridal shower
• A fun addition to a French pastry or dessert collection

From the Reception Table

Couples sometimes keep one on a bedroom dresser to recall their wedding day, and it makes a charming centerpiece at a rehearsal dinner or engagement party. It also suits a pastry chef, a baker who has attempted the real thing, or a friend who honeymooned in France. Set it among cake, eclair and macaron pieces for a sweet French patisserie shelf, or give it on a first anniversary as a nod to the wedding feast.
