Croquembouche is a pyramid type dessert consisting of Mini(pate e choux) cream buffs. It is stacked useing caramel or other type sugar to hold it together then drizzled with same. It is normally made at christmas time for parties.
I believe what this person is looking for is a huge cream puff which is bagged out over 2 1/2 to 3 inches.
Bakers amonia is added to raw mix which when heated forms a gas and makes them rise more and hold their shape.Many years ago in the local bakeries you could buy these but unfortunatly today there are few local bakeries.
