Buche de Noel

[louiselux]

Fired up by memories of Antique Bakery, I'm going to have a go at making this Buche de Noel. Aka chocolate log.

Getting a 'wood-like effect' using cream and melted chocolate sounds difficult though, and I'm not entirely convinced by Delia's efforts in the picture shown. Doesn't it look like it has the potential for messy disaster?

This one looks extremely log-like - I like the presentation.

This one is a bit frightening, but it has fake mushrooms. Hmmm.

This one is more sophistamacated - but not very log like.

I like the second one!

I love buche de noel! Mmm! Here's (http://athena8.livejournal.com/308651.html) the one I had last year! (Which I purchased at my favorite cafe). If I had baking skills, I'd love to try to make one. Sounds like such a fun holiday project. Good luck, and hope you post your results! ^___^ ♥

I'm really leaning towards making it as log-like as possible. I'll be sure to regale you with my buche de noel adventures!
