A Not so Traditional Cake Cutting Ceremony

In France it is customary to whack the croquembouche with a broom shank, or the side of a sword, so it shatters into a pile of flying choux buns.  These are caught in the bridesmaid's dresses - fun but a bit messy.

Selina and Jason had their own take on the tradition and sent us their photographs.....

"I just wanted to write a massive Thank You for creating our wedding Croquembouche.   It was perfect and tasted delicious!

People were still munching on it at 3a.m. that night.

We did try the 'traditional' knocking it down with a sword but it went a bit messy!  

Instead of pieces flying out so that we could catch them in a tablecloth, the top of the cake, just sliced off and slid onto the floor!  

But it was all rescued and eaten anyway - we're not a fussy bunch!  

I've attached some photos so you can see what happened.

We had an amazing wedding day and everyone is still talking about it now!

Thanks again and all the best

Selina and Jason"
