Yes, you just take it apart from the top. Croquembouche is not a cake as we picture them; they're little caramelized pastry balls, which you then drizzle chocolate sauce, caramel, or frut over. My friend chose this as her wedding "cake" because it's what her parents had at their wedding. It was a site to see! Actually, theirs did not have the two tiers - it was just a tall pyramid about 6 feet tall! Oh, and it was SO GOOD.
