Croquembouche Cone
Croquembouche is a grand affair of a dessert, constructed of cream puffs dipped in caramel, stacked into a conical tower, and caged in even more caramel. It's a delectable dance of crunchy-meets-soft! You can prepare the individual components in advance, but once it's assembled, gather everyone and dig in!

Cook's Notes:
Pastry cream can be made up to 3 days in advance.
Dough can be made a day in advance. Just transfer to a pastry bag and refrigerate. Puffs can be made 2 days in advance. They're easier to fill when firm, so to re-crisp, bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
