Food Photography- O Croquembouche, O Croquembouche

Holiday newsletter assignment for an upscale grocer.  When the client asked if we could shoot a croquembouche, we replied in the affirmative--and then rushed to search the net for what the hell was it anyway.   The croquembouche was the final shot at the end of a very long day.  Folks were a bit giddy by then but everyone remained focused as Chef constructed the "tree",  wrapped it in finely spun sugar and gently placed it on set.    An assistant began singing O Croquembouche and everyone joined in as the final frame was shot.
