The Croquembouche: A Parody of The Crucible
In the quaint town of Tartleton, renowned for its delectable pastries, a dark secret simmers beneath the surface. Abigail, a disgruntled employee at Patisserie LeFlour, accuses the bakery's star croissant curler, Giles Corey, of tampering with the town's prized croquembouche recipe.
Abigail, known for her flamboyant cake decorations and equally dramatic pronouncements, claims to have witnessed Giles muttering strange incantations over a bowl of brioche dough. Soon, a confectionary craze sweeps through Tartleton. One by one, villagers succumb to Abigail's accusations, their fear fueled by a desperate craving for the coveted pastries.
Enter John Proctor, a baker with a penchant for burnt baguettes and a past fling with Abigail. John's wife, Elizabeth, a baker known for her stoic demeanor and perfectly symmetrical éclairs, becomes the target of Abigail's ire. With a sprinkle of jealousy and a dollop of deceit, Abigail accuses Elizabeth of using stale sourdough to sabotage the croquembouche.
As paranoia rises faster than a batch of popovers, the esteemed pastry chef, Deputy Hawthorne, oversees a series of interrogations. Victims plead their innocence while desperately trying to appease the judge's sweet tooth with bribes of cookies and cannoli.
John, tormented by guilt and a yearning for Elizabeth's superior scones, attempts to expose Abigail's ploy. He reveals her secret stash of candied cherries, a forbidden ingredient in Tartleton's pastries. Will John's truth be enough to save Elizabeth and restore peace to the town? Or will Tartleton descend into a chaotic fight for the perfect puff pastry?
