It seemed like a good idea to have a yummy, liquor-imbued dessert to make our reception less stodgy. And we probably would have been the first Thais to have a French wedding cake in Bangkok.
Sadly, the humidity makes building a 2-metre high Grand Marnier-filled cream puffs monument an impossible feat. The conical structure (about a thousand mini-puffs) is held together with a caramel glaze and the baker decided that the risk of it toppling over was just too great (it would have to be transported across town on the last Friday of the year, and kept cool enough until we smash it). Even if it did collapse, that would have been something, no? ;)

what cake are you going to have now?!

You should go ahead and have the Croquembouche. The wedding guests then place bets on the exact time the cake will topple over. The winner then gets a victory dance with one of you. :)

Mass hysteria when the cake falls over, and we can then make our escape?? hee hee :D
It seems like all my wedding ideas so far aren't so practical (eg. Doraemon ice carving, and croquembouche). The other I tried to suggest ice cream cake (like the ones I remembered from Erawan hotel) - but luckily this time V put a stop to it. Hmm let's see - any suggestions please do so, we only have a few days left!!!
How about a Pavlova??
