Awesome!
Well that’s an interesting combination.
Awesome!! Looks delicious, and ultra creative!!
Love it!
Ana
Blasphemy, indeed – but brilliant!
omg, that looks delicious.
Fucking awesome!!!! No doudt!
GENIUS!
For the love of all that is holy….
You had me at churros and yet, you kept going.
Sacrilegious – but, I wasn’t a good Catholic anyway.
Dear god, EPIC WANT NOW.
Where is my fork??!!
Matt, I’m getting fat just looking at your pictures. Stop that!
My Man! That is the most pathetic”Croquembouche”I’ve ever seen(with the possible exception of first year apprentices’ I’ve hired ,beginning attempts) and those odd looking “Chou”buns??? Sorry to take the wind out of your sails.The comments seem to be favorable but obviously from people who haven’t seen the “real thing” As a professional,semi retired European trained Chef with 50 years experience,I’m looking to start a “Food Blog” and was perusing sites !Truthfully I didn’t continue onto your site after viewing your “photo” and being appalled at your misspelling of such a reverent classic French “CROQUEMBOUCHE”!! ‘Hope you don’t think I’m just being “Catty” and take it for constructive criticism ,from someone who is uniquely qualified to comment, having been trained(Back in the day) in Paris &Normandy.
Bon Chance ! Brian.
From Matt: Brian, thank you so much for reading the blog! No need to apologize about taking the wind out of my sails and I certainly don’t think you’re being “catty” at all! I always appreciate constructive criticism!
But one quick question though: have you ever had a churro?
I haven’t seen this in Mexico yet, but I love it! Creativity is the name of the game, unless we all want to continue eating the same thing, generation after generation.

Oh…My…Gosh….I have never tried churros, even though they are all over the place in Texas. I will def have to give one a try, and hopefully they taste as amazing as that picture makes them look!
Wow that is definitely awesome. You could use cajeta as currency around here..gawd that stuff is good.
Well Matt! My sincere apologies ! This is a case of “Open mouth/ Insert foot” on my part. I just took another look at what you were attempting to do ! Churros and cajeta !!Mmmmmmm. Please forgive my above comments? A cautionary tale here “Look TWICE before you leap !!!I live in Massachusetts, sadly too far from you to have a “Forgiveness” drink !! Still I’ll be checking in on your site from time to time !! Merci !!
Brian
No need to apologize! But you know I’m going to call or email you when I have questions about real French pastry and need guidance…my attempts would only make you laugh! Thanks for reading!
LOVE this! I love croquembouche and I love churros…sounds like a match made in heaven to me! Plus, if you can’t have a bit of a sense of humor and play with your food occasionally, what fun is life?
I adore your play on food, and I love the conversation with you and Brian. Both of you handled things SO kindly. I wish you’d give lessons to our folks in politics; it was such a giving exchange with a quick fix. Admiration to you!
OMG, I can’t even look at this. French recipe or not, we’ll never see anything like this in Paris. Wow.
Matt, I have been tossing around the idea of making a croquembouche for a couple years; but then I think about it sitting around the house for a day (honestly a mere few hours) or worse yet, sitting on my hips for a few weeks, and that stops me. Now, you have taken it to a whole other level – fried dough with Cajeta! Damn YOU!
Lovely as always.
I am so, so, so, so, so delighted that you put your money where your mouth was and did this.
It needed to be made.
Creative and awesome!!! Love it!
Just needs a bowl of vanilla ice cream, and then it would be perfect!
Awesome. Definitely awesome.
Definitely looks awesome. I might change my mind after tasting it.
YES PLEASE…I’ll take one of those.
Now if only it had only been drizzled with madrilenos chocolate
Oh NO YOU didn’t!!!
This is amazing. It reminds me of when my family ran out of chocolate for our chocolate fountain and as Mexicans, we naturally decided to make a nacho cheese fountain instead.
Oh my those churros look so delicious, and the lightening and picture quality on this shot is BAD (in a good way :0)
AWESOME!!!
oh my gosh that looks amazing.
i found you on tastespotting i think, through this recipe, and it’s totally convinced me to follow you.
please please PLEASE tell me you have a recipe!!!!!!!!!!!
This should be on This is Why You’re (Happily) Fat.
you’re quite awful
and I adore ya for it!
YUM
was just thinking of this shot last week when i had to style a real croquembouche for fine cooking mag and it made me smile!!
oh hell, there goes my diet!
love!! it!!
Hilarious!
