These choux au craquelin are filled with coffee and cardamom pastry cream, and the profiteroles are filled with pistachio-mascarpone cream and topped with chocolate ganache. At about two bites each, they pack a flavorful punch in a small package!

Pièce Montée
The pièce montée was the pièce de resistance for the 2014 season of the Great British Bake Off. I dubbed mine The Magic of Halloween. It features a dark chocolate cake with cherry filling topped with a pumpkin cake, which in turn is topped with a croquembouche. The profiteroles in the croquembouche are filled with orange pastry cream, drizzled with dark chocolate and spiraled with spun sugar. Spiced macarons and gingerbread black cats round out this tower of treats.
