From my 07/07/07 party last night, I present to you this typical french dessert. This Pièce Montée we usually have for special celebration such as weddings, baptisms and special birthdays.
For his special birthday (the 50th), Thierry has Pièce Montée with the form of Aeroplane !
I think Thierry has good choice of Pièce Montée in the form of aeroplane. Why? On the 07/07/07, many couples got married and I think many has Pièce Montée but with traditional form (conical shape). Thierry's one is different and of course make it special.
Some more info for you, the term pièce montée is sometimes used to refer to the dessert also known as croquembouche, an assemblage of cream puffs (or occasionally other kinds of candy or pastry) stuck together with caramel or spun sugar into a tall, usually conical shape. PS : Don't you think it is triple 7 of Boeing (Boeing 777) ? :))

Fabulous! Amazing what can be done with lots of cream puffs! Was this as delicious as it looked?
Yes Tara it was delicious. I ate something like 7 or 8 pieces !
(beside what they put in "aeroplane", they have many other individual cream puffs)
does that plane for Thierry?
Miam Miam
Ha I guessed correctly. I love it, and the fireworks too. :D
