Anyone ever made a "Yule Log" or "Buche de Noel?"

1. My sister did a couple of years ago.

She's the queen of desserts. Hers looked a lot like the one in the middle picture, with meringue mushrooms and all.

2. "Want to light my yule log?" ranks right up there with ...

... "want to kiss my blarney stone?" as favorite holiday questions in our home. Repeated 500 times a season.

I'd like to apologize to anyone who is still reading this post.

10. I've never tasted one and I've always wanted to.

I guess I could bake one...

12. The main thing is to get the right cake recipe, so that it will roll up easily.

You will use parchment paper on both sides to roll it up. I usually put a whipped cream filling with praline inside.

11. Used to do one every year.

Haven't lately because they can be a lot of work. I might do one this year, though.

13. That seems like it would be a fun project

if you aren't stressed out and have some time to devote to it.

Yours sounds wonderful!
