Comments on: Croquembouche Cupcakes http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/07/23/croquembouche-cupcakes/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I have been secretly wanting to make these for awhile but was a bit daunted as I haven't made custard, choux pastry or toffee before!! I just got a kitchenaid for my birthday/christmas present so decided that it was time to tackle this recipe. The way you laid it out step by step made it a lot more manageable! And guess what...they worked! I am so proud :-) couldn't quite get the hang of the toffee threads, but otherwise very pleased! NQN – what a wonderful creation!

I too am determined to make a Croquembouche but am not sure when I'll have the time or the people available to eat it all. I could always get ambitious for my housewarming I guess... Speaking of housewarmings, I misread your talk of an "upcoming move" as "upcoming movie" and thought for a minute you were having a film made! It could be called "Nigella and Not Quite Nigella"? ;) Wowsers, I have to make these!
