Wrap a styrofoam tree form in parchment paper and secure it with toothpicks.

Prepare a full pot of caramelized sugar.

Dip the cream puffs into the caramelized sugar using tongs or fingers.

Start assembling the croquembouche by sticking the cream puffs onto the base of the cone and layering upwards.

Ensure the caramelized sugar sticks both to the cone and to each other as you build the tower.

If the caramelized sugar firms up, reheat it on low heat to soften it.

Calculate the number of cream puffs needed based on the number of guests, aiming for 80 to 100 puffs for a tall tower.

Wrap golden threads of caramel around the top of the tower using a fork for decoration.

Transport the croquembouche in the cone and twist it out for display.
