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.

None of these look the way a bûche de Noël should look like. Here is what you should be aiming for:

Excellent! These are really log-like, especially the top one. This is the standard I'm going to strive towards.
