Merry Christmas*Mele Kalikimaka*Joyeux Noel



Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you all are staying cozy and warm inside, wherever you are. Spent the day with family enjoying lots of good food. It was my goal this year to make a Buche de Noel, or a yule log cake. It's traditional to have this cake on Christmas in France. Mine is made of a rolled hot milk sponge cake, layered with classic buttercream and ground toasted walnuts, and covered in whipped chocolate ganache frosting. Finished it off with sugared rosemary and meringue "mushrooms." It was yummy! Lots of work to pull off, but worth it, I think. Christmas only comes once a year after all!
