My husband is a wonder in the kitchen. I've been feeling very tired and nauseous with this pregnancy and he's totally stepped up to the plate to keep things running while I've been out of commission. This last weekend we had the annual Christmas party for my father-in-law's extended family. Hubby made a pumpkin roll and the croquembouche you see above. Those are individual little cream puffs (which he made from scratch) filled with a vanilla pudding and whipped cream mixture (both of which he made from scratch) and covered with a fine netting of spun sugar (which he also made). I squirted the filling into the cream puffs and stuck them on the foam form. That's my tiny contribution towards something that had everyone Oohing and Aahing.
In progress.
