the spun sugar is simply the traditional decoration for a croquembouche. its not really meant to be eaten, jst the caramelized sugar coated puffs. its also decorated w/ jordan almonds and some more sugar decorations. all i had time to do was the one rose and a few leaves.

thanks. mainly its just for show, so they werent filled with anything. if i made it to actually eat, they would be filled with pastry cream, whipped cream or mousse. it is fun to make though.
